We can all do our part.
Are you concerned about the state of our environment? Do you wish the powers that be made recycling and saving our Earth’s natural, precious resources made it easier for the majority to do their part?
Whenever I find something of interest along the lines that could work toward the betterment of all people, I do my very best to share it with others. I recently found an article about great eco friendly clothing lines that you can purchase from. I am sure many of you are already doing your part, but the more things we all know about, the better off we will all be.

Liane,
Until I read your article I hadn’t ever heard of eco-friendly clothing.This goes to show you just how fast progress is. I’ve heard of disposable clothing and clothing that changes colors daily. Great article, Liane. I like learning about things that can and will be in the near future, and from the way it looks, the future is upon us. Keep up the good work!!!

I’ve been doing a lot of research into hemp. Not only can it be used as a renewable biofuel, but the fibre makes excellent cloth, that doesn’t wear out – it wears in.
Now if only it were legal to grow the stuff…

Even though the organic fabrics are more expensive, I think that they’re actually worth it in the long run. There are lots more stores (an designers) which sell organic fabric. They all can be found in a simple google search.

I had seen a bit on discovery once where they were talking about making threads (and eventually fabrics) from corn. I thought that was a great idea. But i couldnt find anything on the net about it.
And now i read this lovely article of yours. Thanx for the websites. I love the way natural high lifestyle has such comfotrable, simple yet desirable clothing. Lovely website.

What is “organic cotton”? Is there an “inorganic cotton”?

Thank you all so very kindly for your comments.
And, to answer your great question Speed Limit (I did not know before myself and I’m sure your question will help countless others as well):
Organic cotton is at type of cotton that is grown with “methods and materials that have a low impact on the environment.”
When cotton is organically produced it will: “replenish and maintain soil fertility, reduce the use of toxic and persistent pesticides and fertilizers, and build biologically diverse agriculture.”
Best wishes & blessings to all.
Sincerely,
