Episode Synopsis "Interview with John Parkinson of iinouii"

John Parkinson tells his inspiring story of a lifetime spent working to reduce textile and fiber waste in the landfill by recycling wool garments back into yarn and woven cloth. He shares the story of how the industry began in the UK, how it developed and almost died out completely, and how he plans to revive it. This is a classic story of somebody who is doing what he can, with what he has, because he feels it is important at this current point in history.
