Best Wineries Near Boston: Where to Go Wine Tasting From the City
Boston is not typically thought of as wine country, but drive in any direction for under two hours and the region opens up. West of the city, family farms in Bolton, Shrewsbury, Mendon and the North Shore make wine, cider and spirits from cold-climate grapes and local fruit. South, the Massachusetts coast around Westport and Dartmouth grows some of the best sparkling wine in New England off the cool Atlantic air. Cape Cod has its own small cluster of wineries near Provincetown and Falmouth, and across the water in Rhode Island, Newport’s vineyards sit among the mansions and the sailing harbor.

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.
