Inch by inch, row by row: some botanical information to help your garden growDawn Bazely
These slides are from my talk for the Royal Canadian Institute for Science, on April 6, 2017, at Mississauga Public Library, main branch: http://rciscience.ca/lectures/winter-2017-rcitalks/
Here is the summary:
'The Nobel prizewinner, Albert Szent-Györgi, reminded us that photosynthesis is “what drives life”, and “is a little current, kept up by the sunshine”. Every plant can take in carbon dioxide and water, and make simple sugars, while giving off oxygen. We will discuss some botany basics to enhance your appreciation of flowers, fungi, seaweed and bacteria, and this information will help you to plan your garden better. Dawn’s husband grew okra, ladies’ fingers, in their Toronto garden in 2016.
Dawn is a professor of Biology in the Faculty of Science at York University in Toronto, where she has taught since 1990. She was Director of IRIS, the university-wide Institute for Research and Innovation in Sustainability (2006-11 and 2012-14). At IRIS, Dawn’s mission was to develop, lead and support interdisciplinary research on diverse fronts. The Globe and Mail’s 2014 Canadian University Report singled her out as York University’s HotShot Professor. Dawn trained as an ecologist in the field of plant-herbivore interactions, and has carried out extensive field research in grasslands and forests, from temperate to Arctic regions. She holds a B.Sc. (Biogeography and Environmental Studies) and M.Sc. (Botany) from the University of Toronto. Her D.Phil. in Zoology, from Oxford University’s Edward Grey Institute in Field Ornithology, looked at sheep grazing behaviour. She is a grass biologist who urges people to think about digging up their lawns!'
Ecocomposite materials can provide high performance using only natural materials. Throughout human history sophisticated use of ecocomposites has met needs for housing, boats, hunting, tools, armor, and weapons. We can still learn a great deal from studying these historical uses.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

that?‖ ‗
• „Lexicographical fuzziness‟

commitment to traditional
techniques,
others pointed to locally sourced
materials
while still others mentioned the
importance of reducing carbon
footpoint.”

• Means using resources in way
that does not impoverish the
planet for the next generation‖

maintenance of responsibility,
which has environmental,
economic, and social
dimensions, the responsible
management of resource use.
• Triple bottom line: Social,
Environmental, Commercial

• Wedded to novelty and
consumption, neither of which
mesh naturally with the concept of
sustainability‖

changing styles of dress and
appearance that are adopted by a
group of people at any given time
and place.‖

―… early attempts at eco-chic were
largely green window dressing.‖
―Rather than asking tough questions
about their materials, designers in
the 1990s seemed more
interested in turning out
collections of dingy, natural-
fibre clothing that made wearers
look as if they lived in a field.‖

a material was produced,
how much energy will be used to
take care of it, and
what happens to it at the end of its
life beginning to echo through the
industry. ―

respect for trade union rights in the
quest to provide a living wage for
garment workers.‖ - The State of Pay,

and textiles in the UK is about 2.35
million tonnes (0.7% of UK total B4),
13% going to material recovery (about

11. What are natural fibers?
Natural fibers are made from plant, animal and mineral sources.
12. Natural fibers from plants:
• Also known as, vegetable fibers, are generally composed mainly of
cellulose: examples include cotton.
Cellulose fiber from
Print paper
• Cellulose fibers serve in the manufacture of
paper and cloth.
13. Korsnäs Wave
•Made of 100% virgin cellulose fiber.
•Common applications include shopping bags, gift packs, exclusive
consumer packs and substitutions for plastic.
14. ―Cotton may be natural, but most cotton consumes large quantities of
pesticides, fertilizers and water during production.‖
– Intelligent Life Magazine, Winter 2010
25% of all pesticides used are for
standard cotton production
Organic cotton uses
Zero pesticide
15. The World Health Organization estimates that at least
3,000,000 people are poisoned by pesticides every year
and 20-40,000 more are killed.
Sustainable?
HELL NO!!!!
16. Bamboo is a Renewable Resource
•The plant thrives naturally, totally unassisted
• Without the use of any pesticides or fertilizer, is totally biodegradable
• Bamboo Clothing is Comfortable
• Antibacterial, Hypoallergenic Bamboo Clothing

water, has now crossed over into general use and can even mimic fine
fabrics.‖

21. ―Leather is problematic. Some green dressers argue that most leather is just a
by-product of the meat industry.‖
- Intelligent Life, 2011
22. “This classy, berry-colored clutch from the British Luxury brand Asprey is farmed
alligator; wild alligator would be even better, as buying it gives more support to
marshland in Louisiana and Florida.”
- Intelligent Life, 2011
23. ―Many species of crocodiles, caimans and alligators are now thriving where they
were once threatened, thanks to a strictly controlled, sustainable trade.‖
- Intelligent Life 2011
DUBIOUS!
24. SUSTAINABLE? NO!
“buying leather directly contributes to factory farms and slaughterhouses—
and all the cruelty involved.
Leather is also no friend of the environment, as it shares responsibility for all
the environmental destruction caused by the meat industry as well as the
pollution caused by the toxins used in tanning.”
- PETA.org
25. ANIMAL CRUELTY
―The production of leather hurts animals, the environment, and the workers who
manufacture it. The only ones who benefit are people who profit from the
misery and suffering of others.‖
- PETA.org
26. ―Vicuna products that are sold with a CITES certificate – like this oversize, tan-
colored scarf from Esgyrn – support the animal in the wild.‖
- Intelligent Life, 2011
27. Esgyrn
―Esgyrn is delighted to offer you this exclusive collection of the World‘s finest
natural fibres woven into garments of timeless style. ‖
“Our luxury fibre business now offers the same attention to detail as is required to
meet the exacting standards of the World’s luxury fibre mills. We apply the same
ethos by providing you with a hand picked selection of scarves, wraps, shawls and
throws from the Vicuna, Guanaco, Alpaca and Llama. ”
28. ENDANGERED
Vicuna: The vicuña was almost hunted to extinction for its beautiful soft
wool. Now there are about 125,000 vicuñas, but they are still listed as
threatened. The vicuña is classified as vulnerable by the IUCN, and as
endangered by the USDI.
- Blue Planet Biomes
Guanaco: The guanaco has since undergone a steep decline, particularly
during the last century. Major threats to the guanaco include overhunting,
for skins, meat and wool, as well as poaching, habitat degradation.
- ARKive.org
30. “ No amount of fluff can hide the fact that anyone who buys wool supports a cruel
and bloody industry. There are plenty of durable, stylish, and warm fabrics available
that aren't made from wool or animal skins. “
- PETA.org
ANIMAL CRUELTY
31. History of Fur
―In the richness and beauty of its splendid fur the
Silver-gray Fox surpasses the beaver or sea
otter, and the skins are indeed so highly
esteemed that the finest command
extraordinary prices, and are always in
demand.‖
—John James Audubon, quoted from The Imperial
Collection of Audubon Animals, 1967
33. History of the crocodile
“Roughly 65 million years ago, an asteroid came
crashing to Earth and perhaps led to the extinction of
most prehistoric life on our planet.
But one dinosaur-like animal that managed to survive
this mass extinction continues to live today.
Crocodilians roamed the Earth along with those
”terrible thunder lizards“ and exist today as crocodiles,
alligators, caimans and gharials (those croc-like
creatures with long, narrow snouts.)”
– Vanessa HoAnimalPlanet.
34. Crocodile Skin
―Tend to be used by the highest of high-
end houses‖
• Very rare. (Only the stomachskin can
be used)
• It is expensive (most of people
cannot afford it)
35. ―It takes three to four crocodiles to
make one of our bags so we are
now breeding our own crocodiles
on our own farms, mainly in
Australia,‖ - Hermes chief
executive Patrick Thomas.
Customers put their names on a
waiting list for up to two years and
pay up to $60,000 for the bags.
36. Up-cycling
―The process of converting waste materials or useless products into
new materials or products of better quality or a higher environmental value.‖
- Intelligent Life Magazine, Winter 2010

38. CONCLUSION
What is Sustainable Fashion?
Sustainable Fashion is not all about being Natural or Organic.
Its all about being:
Environmentally-Friendly
Socially-Responsible
Animal-Cruelty Free
Commercial Viable
