Scott Explains the ConsumeReconnection Project at Interesting:NY
Consume®econnection Project was a year-long effort to meet the laborers and craftsmen who made anything and everything I bought, with a focus on traceability, buying local, and conscious consumption. Meeting these local shopkeepers and neighborhood business owners inspired the creation of Sheepless.org.
The Interesting:New York conference was held at the Fashion Institute of Technology, Sept 10, 2008.
