The Benefits Of Organic Clothing

By David Green


Even with our awareness of the damage that modern society has on the earth, deciding to adopt environmentally sound habits is occasionally difficult to do. Still, lots of groups and workplaces are making an effort to become more responsible. For example, solar power is getting to be more widespread. Still, there are a lot of other things that regular people can adopt to support the environment. One possible thing is to wear organic clothing.

Maybe you are familiar with organically grown food, but you maybe aren't so used to organic clothing. What is organic clothing? Whenever we consider organic products, we mean those that don't add harmful chemicals to the water and soil. This helps support all the creatures within nature.

Traditionally grown cotton is the most widespread fabric, and it's also the one crop with the biggest negative impact on the ecosystem. Did you know that 25% of pesticides around the globe are used for growing cotton?

On the other hand, organic cotton is produced without the use of chemical pesticides and fertilizers. Rather, the crop is grown through natural means. Some other organic fabrics such as hemp and bamboo are also good sources for organic clothing.

One large plus of organic clothing is that it is more easy on your skin. Due to the fact that the clothing fibers are lacking any traces of dangerous chemicals, they won't cause skin reactions. In addition, bamboo fabric is naturally resistant to bacteria.

When we go with organic clothing, we cut down on the amount of chemicals finding their way into the environment. Unsustainable farming causes large amounts of harmful chemicals to penetrate the land and pass along to the watershed. This is a growing source of health issues in the modern day. But when we buy organic apparel, we will be helping the efforts of organic farming practices that don't damage the environment.

Some organic clothing fabrics such as hemp and bamboo are very durable. They will still look great after lots of wash cycles and last longer than chemically-grown fibers.

Each time we select to wear environmentally responsible garments, we are making a positive impact on the lives of all the people who grow organic crops. Their communities and homes are safe from exposure to a harmful influx of chemicals that can result from large scale farming practices.

Considering all these advantages, we should not be surprised that even more clothing designers are switching over to designing organic clothing.
