Loved it - surprised that why we don't have million viewing this. needs small Insta clip, podcasts and many more ways to spread this sucesss for adoption
Phenomenal , I had seen a model of growing saline tolerant foods as well. I think not just in the coast but also on the coast line and inland so much could be integrated
This video is a part of a course offered by openSAP. I found the random video clips and the music so annoying and invasive that it was impossible to concentrate on the actual content. There is also a gaping hole in the segment about food production. Why is the unnecessary factory farming of animals never addressed?
I am here because of WATOP, he mentioned Petit Pli in one of his videos named This Is Why Snakes Hate Their Lives. Really interesting concept, when I will have kids I will definitely check Petit Pli clothes out!
26:47 when you're passionately talking about a topic you love but everyone's on their phones not listening. You can see the irritation in Lewis's face.
Very enlightening. I do have a comment about the proposition to favour and support labour and tax energy and non-renewable resources. This proposition overlooks capitalism's interests in controlling all forms of resources including (probably mainly) people and people in government. Corporations will fight tooth and nail to undermine such attempts as to them, more people as organised labour become a more serious threat. Any thoughts?
I love how these clothes are inspired by the science and art behind origami. Absolutely brilliant. I'd love to buy this for myself. I hope they'll make some for adults too!
!Que ridículos¡, Cuanta fé ciega en la tecnología, estos nuevos productos y sistemas tecnológicos necesitan ser vendidos con las misma retorica de siempre y la mercadotecnia de innovación, sustentabilidad e inspiración en la naturaleza, nos venden una idea de un mundo mejor, casi parece un dogma.
Yes, it used to be that way in the West before 1980's. That's when they used to repair clothing, including socks - they'd darn these to mend any holes. From the 1980's onwards this all changed sadly, along with the sewing skills. Clothing which was outgrown [or for any other reason] was recycled by being passed on to friends, handed down to younger family members or taken to a charity shop. In line with what you rightly said, those things don't happen as much anymore. Some folks even wear an item once, then it's in the bin!!🙈 Money to burn. 🔥 🔥 🔥
It never ceases to amaze me how many people I meet in life that can't sew... Not like, creating a garment from a pattern, just basic stuff, like reattaching a button or fixing a hem that came loose. My friends are always surprised I do things like that myself. I'm grateful that my parents took the time to teach me how to do that kind of thing. For a long time, I feared that I was one of the last in a dying breed, but it is really encouraging to see the kids coming up behind us are such mavericks in their thinking when it comes to resource management and environmental stewardship.
The question “can forest gardens be commercial” I think is partly the wrong question. Should it be compared like that? “Massively harvesting grains and grass with machines and then a long production line towards the customer, with money being made in all parts in a global supply chain” versus “Consumers pick from and provide services to a forest garden close by and use it directly in the kitchen”. People should be part of the natural system. It’s a whole different proposition. Forget about traditional “what does it cost, how much money do I make”. It’s a whole new idea of how society should function in relation to nature. I think the solution is by integration of forest gardens directly into communities. So still using modern technology and not going back to the Stone Age, but moving away from massively supplying global markets with a single product and people competing globally for money and jobs.
Yes, maybe the question should be 'Should food forest be commercial?'. Surely sufficiency and sustainability have to be much more important considerations.
Thank you so much for your kind words of support. Clothes that grow are our first solution with many more on the way! For the first time, we’re inviting our community of humans to gain priority access to become an investor in Petit Pli when we launch on Crowdcube this month. Ready to come on board?

I think this is the most logical way of farming. For the future and now. Non destructive way of farming that actually restores the earth and having significant value of what you are doing. This is definitely inspiring. We have so much ocean space and yet we do farming on land. With this much ocean space we can all together rid of land animal farming cruelty and strive for healthier and sustainable growth in the agriculture ecosystem. Also definitely provides more nutrition per value than a chicken or cow. Ocean Farming definitely is interesting. Leaving a positive impact on earth. (Doing this type of farming actually does feel like you bring in significant value to your life)
