Julia Child’s initials are pressed into a sidewalk outside a butcher shop, right next to the words Bon Appétit. I love that a TV cooking legend left her mark at a meat counter instead of a fancy restaurant. That detail sent me looking for more old-school butchers in...

Wu admin. wants to ease some fees, affordable housing rules
The Wu administration on Monday proposed easing some of its affordable housing fees and requirements for developers, whether they're building large-scale commercial projects or condominiums. The big picture: The proposed zoning changes aim to shrink cost burdens that have deterred developers from building in Boston, but stop short of granting the sector's demands of lowering its affordable housing requirements altogether. How it works: Boston requires developers building multifamily housing with seven units or more to set aside 17% of units for affordable housing. Those who opt out have to pay into the state's affordable housing fund, called the Inclusionary Development Fund (IDF), as do the developers behind large-scale commercial projects like labs. Residential developers could also build affordable housing off-site, but those must be within a half-mile radius of the original project. Driving the news: Housing officials proposed amending the zoning code to spread out the IDF payments across seven installments instead of two, reversing a 2022 city zoning change. The city also proposed lowering buyout fees for condo projects, from covering 75% of the difference between market-rate and affordable unit prices to 50% of the difference. The plan would also nix the half-mile radius for off-site affordable housing and

Sustainability in the Clothing Industry
“Fast fashion” is a phrase seen throughout Pingree school and beyond to describe our fashion industry. There are posters lining the walls near the Vault at Pingree, projects in classes, and multiple articles explaining the dangers. Fast fashion is a manufacturing process that decreases the quality of the items to increase supply. The selling technique was developed in order to ensure that the consumers buy the products and there is an increase in revenue. The fashion industry must rely on predictions for seasonal trends to maximize profit, but with fast-fashion, the industry does not have to predict these trends, they can change the inventory during the same season to keep up with the trends. With the quick shift in the selections, Audrey Standton, the sustainability editor for The Good Trade, wrote, “Corners are inevitably cut.” On the contrary, “greenwashing” is another term on the rise. The definition of greenwashing is when companies, specifically clothing brands, advertise as an eco-friendly alternative to fast-fashion when there is evidence that the company still conforms with the fast-fashion selling techniques. While there are concerns about sustainability, fashion is still a prominent component to everyday life and culture.
