Why Should You Buy Organic Clothing?
1. By purchasing natural and organic fiber clothing you are supporting environmental causes and the lives of all people involved in the process of growing, manufacturing, and distributing the clothing. You are also supporting the principals of Fair Trade* working conditions, and earth and animal welfare.
2. Natural and organic fiber fabrics are processed with as few chemicals and harmful impact on the environment as possible.
3. Certified organic cotton is cotton grown without the use of harmful pesticides, herbicides, or artificial fertilizers. It is also free of formaldehyde finishes. Organic cotton wears well and is extremely breathable.
4. Each organic fiber t-shirt you buy eliminates the use of 150 grams of agricultural chemicals. It takes approximately one pound of chemicals to grow three pounds of conventional cotton, while organic cotton is grown chemical-free.
5. Bamboo is a natural, renewable resource that can be made into easy-care fabrics. Bamboo grows very quickly and does not require fertilizers or pesticides. It is comfortable, breathable, and kills bacteria that causes odor.
6. Bamboo fabric is naturally antimicrobial, and will not harm those with skin sensitivities.
*The Fair Trade Federation, FTF, is an association of fair trade wholesalers, retailers and producers whose members are committed to providing fair wages and good employment opportunities to economically disadvantaged artisans and farmers worldwide.
