Been There Done That, April 26

April 3, 2009 in events

Two hip young ladies, Zoe Fisher & Audrey Snyder, have been working on a sustainable fashion show to benefit the San Francisco Victory Gardens project. If you’re in the area, check it out, support something good, and talk these two into becoming farmers.

When: Sunday, April 26

Where: Temple San Francisco

More Details: http://www.beentheredonethatbenefit.blogspot.com/

The idea is promote re-used, recycled, and sustainable fashions which highlighting the intersections to our food systems, music, the arts, and the environment. It is an effort to create awareness about issues in our environment while helping to reverse the damage through the Victory Gardens + project. This is our own take on “thinking globally” but acting locally in a tangible way.

This event is entirely eco-friendly and we will be showing many independent eco-fashion designers, high school students’ designs, along with local artists, music artists, and of course food!

The Connectivity of Fashion and the Environment .

2008-11-03T22:58:00.000-08:00

Did you know...?

"Fashion uses more water than any industry other than agriculture. At least 8,000 chemicals are used to turn raw materials into textiles and 25% of the world's pesticides are used to grow non-organic cotton. This causes irreversible damage to people and the environment, and still two thirds of a garment's carbon footprint will occur after it is purchased" - Earth Pledge: Future Fashion

and...

"The average American disposes of 68 pounds of clothing per year" - Environmentalists Every Day

Much love,

Zoe and Audrey

Why We Chose Victory Gardens+

2008-10-14T10:21:00.000-07:00

Zoe and I chose Garden for the Environment's Victory Garden+ as the beneficiary for our event because we believe that real change starts close to home. We love the idea of supporting a local network of urban food producers and gardeners in San Francisco and the intrinsic connections to fashion, art, and music as a requirement to us as consumers. Urban sustainability and self-sufficiency are remedies to our environmental and social problems so we believe that the Victory Gardens+ program is our ticket there.

Sf's Victory Gardens+ program is more than just a throwback to the World War II era government sponsored program. The victory gardens of the 1940's produced 40% of America's non-military produce in over 23 million gardens on public and private land. These gardens lessened the burden of food production and conserved fuel reserved for America's military use. The Victory Garden + program gives Victory a more contemporary focus, it now refers to independence from industrial food systems, community involvement and action, and getting people closer to and more involved with environmental and social issues.

Victory Gardens+ is a pilot program aimed to support the transition of "backyards, front yards, window boxes, rooftops and unused land into food production areas" and all our profits will help sustain the existing gardens as well as installing future gardens!

love,

Audrey and Zoe
