Sustainable Textiles Consultant | Materials Innovation | UN Ocean Decade Endorsed Experiential Learning
Carolynn Box (cbox) and I announced the first Expert Speaker Tasting Session a few days ago and we are excited to continue sharing about our upcoming Textile X Ocean Connector Sail on September 27th! Our second round of expert speakers leading small group discussions on board include: (1) Alyssa Pace, Communications Lead at Sway, speaking to "How do we create next-generation materials that are both regenerative and circular?" (2) Dr. Timnit Kefela, Environmental Scientist at California State University Channel Islands speaking to "How can environmental justice be a driver for systems innovation at the intersection of textiles and oceans?" (3) Krystle Wood, Founder & Principlal Consultant at Materevolve and Co-Founder Textile X Ocean Connector Sail, speaking to "What are key actions that brands and material innovators can take now to address end-of-life impacts of fiber and textile production?" The sessions are fast paced and designed to provide knowledge on the most current science and solutions related to textile derived ocean pollution. All of the talks will take place while we under sail on the beautiful San Francisco Bay. While it may be easier logistically, we have found that the conversations on the Textile X Ocean Connector Sail are incomparable to those happening behind a computer screen or in a conference room. Here from one of our past alum: “The kinesthetic experience of being on a boat, and it’s motion, and the air quality of the sky, and the sounds of the water, and the crew moving around...It helps you retain memories in a different way than being in another environment.” -Rebecca Burgess, Fibershed Executive Director Please join us and let's sail together!
