To kick off Earth Month in April, a Bay Area event called the Regenerative Gala will promote the concepts of ethical consumerism and fashion and art as a vehicle for change. The event s fashion show rejects so-called "fast fashion" which produces clothes in sweatshops, often made from petroleum-based synthetic fabrics. Joelle Provost, a low-impact painter whose works will be featured, said the focus is on natural fabrics produced on farms avoiding pesticides, rejuvenating the soil, and paying a living wage. .
