    this project needs a brand / identity that can communicate the local area and the desire for fairly-priced and locally produced goods.

      what i envision is greater transparency for the life-cycle of a clothing product. also, a print campaign to support this idea and reach those that are not online. plaster the mall with posters urging consumers to 'check the label' and be conscious of how far away their garments are coming from.

    what does it take to make the various fabrics needed.

    can we grow hemp here for example and turn it into cloth.

      Over here we have way too much of this long pokey invasive grass-ish wetland stuff called Phragmites. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phragmites They make thatch roofs out of the stuff ... maybe it could be used? Very weed-y.
