Organic Clothing

Demonstrating your commitment to living a greener lifestyle can be as simple as throwing on a pair of organic cotton jeans or a bamboo T-shirt. Even if people don’t readily notice your eco-friendly attire, you’ll know that you’ve made the choice to support sustainable clothing systems that limit the quantity of chemicals going into the environment for the sake of style.
- Looking for affordable, eco-friendly clothing made from organic cotton, bamboo, wool, and other green textiles can be a challenge. So if you’re looking for a deal, check out these sites for great green deals: Ecobunga.com and GoGreenDeals.com.
- Buy quality organic clothing rather than cheaply-made inexpensive clothing. Well-made clothing will last longer, stretching your investment in organic clothing much longer and driving your per-wear cost down, too.
- Want to get some stylish “new” clothing for free? Host a clothing exchange party for you and your friends! This is an especially great idea for kids clothes.
- When you can’t afford to purchase new organic clothes, go for secondhand sweaters, T-shirts, jeans, shoes, coats, and jackets. Buying at a thrift store, swap meet, or garage sale will save you money and will prevent perfectly good clothing from going to the landfill. Everyone wins!
- Dry cleaning your clothes is expensive, and it’s costly to the planet. The dry cleaning chemicalsused in the process have been linked to cancer as well as kidney, reproductive system, and liver damage and can cause nausea and dizziness. They will also pollute your indoor air. So save some cash by purchasing clothes that don’t require dry cleaning and/or choose to dry cleaning your clothes yourself using a safer at-home kit.
- Shop online. Even if your product is shipped via air transport, this can reduce the fuel expended to get the item to you by 40 percent.
