SNEWS® Live: Why would anyone care about the origins of the raw fibers in their wool garment? Outdoor clothing company Icebreaker, for one, thinks more than a few consumers are interested. Using a new system called the BAA Code, Icebreaker is trying to address consumer demand for accountability in sustainable production practices.
