It was no easy feat, involving months of learning to spin and weave her own flax and indigo. Join her as she recounts the challenges and rewards of creating clothing that embodies sustainability.
In a surprising turn of events, a judge sentenced a customer who threw a chicken burrito bowl at a store manager to work at a fast-food restaurant.

00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.800
Callaroga Shark Media. Hey am chunning
back with five good news stories. If
2
00:00:11.839 --> 00:00:15.759
you're a parent like me, I'm
sure you love waking up every morning and
3
00:00:15.800 --> 00:00:18.359
seeing where the elf on the shelf
has moved to. Now, yep,
4
00:00:18.440 --> 00:00:21.760
it's one of those great traditions I
know parents love and children love it too,
5
00:00:22.239 --> 00:00:25.719
And so has a man who has
taking the elf on the shelf tradition
6
00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:29.960
to a whole new level. He
got a tattoo, Lawrence. He's a
7
00:00:29.960 --> 00:00:33.479
tattoo artist. He decided to keep
the Christmas magic alive for himself and his
8
00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:37.320
family all year round when he surprised
them with a tattoo of an elf on
9
00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:40.439
his foot. That's not a shelf, that's a foot. The kids found
10
00:00:40.439 --> 00:00:43.600
the elf on the shelf with a
note that explained that someone had been inked,
11
00:00:43.759 --> 00:00:47.039
creating mystery in the household. In
a video, one of the children
12
00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:50.520
is checking himself all over to see
if he magically got a tattoo during the
13
00:00:50.600 --> 00:00:53.240
night, but nope, the elf
on the shelf hadn't used his power for
14
00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:57.600
that. His dad revealed the fresh
tattoo on his foot. Lawrence said the
15
00:00:57.600 --> 00:01:00.439
initial idea was to set up the
tattoo machine or take picture of them in
16
00:01:00.439 --> 00:01:03.640
the studio. I decided to go
one step further and tattoo in El's face
17
00:01:03.679 --> 00:01:06.719
onto my foot. So it's the
elf on the foot and we won't have
18
00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:08.480
to look for it. We'll just
have to find Lawrence. A woman who
19
00:01:08.519 --> 00:01:14.319
recently celebrated her one hundred and fifteenth
birthday I did not misspeak there, has
20
00:01:14.359 --> 00:01:17.799
claimed that the secret to living a
long life is to eat plenty of beans.
21
00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:21.920
This is not the first story I've
done with a person who's lived a
22
00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:23.879
long, healthy life talking about beans. Right. We just had the guy
23
00:01:23.879 --> 00:01:26.480
from Australia about a month ago.
I had one of those stories. Well,
24
00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:30.359
this is Helena. She celebrated her
big one one five with her fifteen
25
00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:34.079
great grandchildren and it's claimed that her
bean rich diet is the one thing that
26
00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:38.840
has kept her strong and healthy for
over eleven decades while she was born in
27
00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:45.000
nineteen oh eight. Alongside beans,
Helena said sleeping while exercising regularly enjoy were
28
00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:48.280
important factors in her long life.
Helena, who lives in Brazil, often
29
00:01:48.319 --> 00:01:51.719
goes shopping to the market with her
granddaughter and loves going for regular walks to
30
00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:56.359
stay active. She also makes a
yearly pilgrimage to the world's largest cathedral,
31
00:01:56.480 --> 00:02:00.040
the natural Sanctuary of Oparisida. Her
husband passed way in two thousand and four
32
00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:04.680
at the age of one hundred and
three. That couple was doing something right.
33
00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:07.680
Most of her children have passed away, Helena remains close to her grandkids
34
00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:13.479
and great grandkids. A middle school
principal in Kentucky has adopted a girl she
35
00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:15.919
had been acting out after she's spent
her whole life in and out of foster
36
00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:20.960
homes. She was sent to the
principal's office after being suspended, and he
37
00:02:21.039 --> 00:02:23.960
realized she just needed, perhaps one
time, for something to go in her
38
00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:28.000
favor. The principal told Good Morning
America. I felt like she just needed
39
00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:30.520
a hand, needed help. I
recognized that she needed something to go in
40
00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:32.840
her favor, maybe for once,
that it hadn't gone in her favor in
41
00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:36.599
the past, but she just needed
somebody to help her. The young girl
42
00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:38.159
said. It was really weird at
first, because in my mind I thought
43
00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:42.120
of the principle as the bad guy
because I was always getting in trouble.
44
00:02:42.439 --> 00:02:44.599
I gave them a lot of trouble
to see what would happen. I kind
45
00:02:44.599 --> 00:02:46.759
of tested whether or not this was
real or not to see if they would
46
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:47.800
keep me no matter what, because
they would tell me that. But you
47
00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:52.080
know, I'd heard a lot of
that before. Raven improved her performance at
48
00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:55.319
school, graduated, and is attending
the University of Kentucky. She's studying to
49
00:02:55.360 --> 00:03:00.280
be a social worker. Justine was
having trouble funny the perfect pair of jeens,
50
00:03:00.439 --> 00:03:06.080
so she decided to grow one from
scratch. Justine is a textile artist
51
00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:09.599
who teaches botanic fabric dying at the
Wild Diary, and she set herself the
52
00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:15.159
challenge of growing her own genes after
becoming passionate about the environmental impact of the
53
00:03:15.159 --> 00:03:17.639
fashion industry. Cotton, which is
usually used to make dnim for jenes,
54
00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:21.800
requires so much water to produce that
cotton production has become one of the most
55
00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:24.319
harmful industries to the environment. According
to the UN it could take ten thousand
56
00:03:24.360 --> 00:03:29.400
liters of water to make one pair
of genes. Yikes. Growing our genes
57
00:03:29.479 --> 00:03:31.719
was not easy. She grew her
own flax in indigo on her allotment,
58
00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:35.719
but she didn't know how to spin
or weave. She says, I spent
59
00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:38.080
nine months learning to spin before even
touching my own crop because it was too
60
00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:40.960
precious and I was terrified to ruin
it. After that, it took me
61
00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:45.680
about nine weeks to spin my own
hand. Spinning linen is really hard.
62
00:03:45.800 --> 00:03:49.280
I needed resilience, determination, discipline, and patience to complete it. I
63
00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:53.319
had to surrender myself to this plant. The manual labor and the toil involved
64
00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:55.159
in making the genes has really taught
me to have a much deeper respect for
65
00:03:55.240 --> 00:04:00.439
my clothes. Every item is sacred. Good news from the justice system.
66
00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:03.319
You may have seen this one.
Emily was a store manager at a Chipotle.
67
00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:08.759
An irate customer hurled a chicken burrito
bowl at her face. Well,
68
00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:13.120
now a judge has sentenced that customer
to work at a fast food job to
69
00:04:13.159 --> 00:04:16.439
avoid further jail time. The burrito
checker was found guilty of one count of
70
00:04:16.480 --> 00:04:20.120
assault after admitting to throwing the burrito
bowl. The judge said, this is
71
00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:25.879
not real Housewives of Parma. This
behavior is unacceptable. You didn't get your
72
00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:28.240
burrito bowl the way you like it, and this is how you respond.
73
00:04:28.959 --> 00:04:31.399
At first, the customer was slated
to pay a fine and undergo a one
74
00:04:31.480 --> 00:04:35.759
hundred and eighty day jail term with
ninety days suspended. However, the judge
75
00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:40.319
presented her with an opportunity to cut
her sentence by sixty days in exchange for
76
00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:44.399
consenting to work twenty hours per week
at a fast food restaurant for two months.
77
00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:47.480
The burrito chucker agreed. As for
the woman who was hit by the
78
00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:49.959
burrito, she said, had I
work with food in my face and hair
79
00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:53.800
for the next four hours after it
happened because no one was sent to relieve
80
00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:58.560
me. A Chipotle spokesperson said,
the health and safety of our employees is
81
00:04:58.680 --> 00:05:02.160
our greatest priority. That's your five
good news stories for today. If you
