So much about sustainability is meeting your needs with what is available naturally around you. The state plant for New Mexico is the Yucca plant. We are in the northeast, where it is too cool to grow it without greenhouse, but it is easily available from other areas of the state and can be bought in farmers markets.
I have just read these amazing instructions on how to make soap and shampoo from the Yucca root. Just HAD to share these links!

A family with a mission: to escape the fitna (trials) of this worldly life by getting away from it all and living according to Allah's Perfect Decree to the best of our ability; to heal the earth through our most perfect examples in the Qur'an and the Sunnah, which in turn heals ourselves; and to teach others how to do the same, and give them a place to go where Islam can be lived and a life of worship enjoyed, in shaa Allah.
