Organic Clothing

Many people are unaware of what exactly makes up Organic and environmentally friendly clothing. According to The text book The Business of Fashion, organic clothes are made up of processes such as manufacturing products that include organic material, using less toxic materials and using less water in production. In the world we live in today human beings do not realize what kinds of pesticides are being put into the garments we wear.

I feel more people need to be informed about this type of clothing so that the environment can be better protected. This would also cause people to purchase environmentally friendly clothes. The national Council of Textile Organizations lists companies that produce organic, recycled, or environmentally friendly yarns (p. 129). “Environmentally cleaner” processes have been included into the cotton industry including, organic cotton and dyeing methods (p. 129). The first colored cotton was Foxfibre Cotton and they are committed to organic cotton production (p.130).

After reading about this type of clothing I am now interested in buying environment friendly clothing. This type of clothing can even be bought at places such as Wal-Mart or Target. I tend to eat a lot of organic foods so, why not reduce other pesticides and buy organic clothing as well?
