Description
Sometimes you just gotta wear it.
In what has become an annual tradition, The McFarlands spend some time focusing on the plant materials that go into making textiles.
Cotton, flax, bamboo, oranges, apples and grapes are all revealed to be highly used to create clothing and even leather products.
Jack, Lynne and Matt discuss sustainability and how the "green-washing" of materials is making it harder to eliminate badness from the clothes we wear.
Enter the cow. You're not going to believe how this creature figures into the creation of textiles. Its a MOO-tiful situation.
