Sourcing Organic Cotton (fwd)



From: Reid Lifset <reid.lifset@yale.edu>
To: Multiple recipients of list <ag-impact@freedom.mtn.org>

Dear members of the Ag-impact list,

	I participate (well, actually, lurk) in this list because I teach a class
on the environmental impacts of agriculture in our industrial environmental
management program at Yale.  However, I am also the editor of the Journal
of Industrial Ecology.

	The Journal recently published an article about Patagonia's efforts to
move all of its apparel to organic cotton and the changes that it had to
make in its relationship with its suppliers to achieve this.  If you are
interested, the article is available in full text (PDF) at the journal's
web site: http://mitpress.mit.edu/JIE.

Yours truly,
Reid Lifset
