Organic Clohing


So the new thing in fashion is clothing and materials geared toward the "Go Green" movement. Clothing can be made out of organic materials like bamboo fibers, organic cotton, hemp, soy, and natural fibers. There is also environmentally friendly clothing such as biodegradable products, and fibers made from recycled items. The bamboo clothing is made from fibers of bamboo grass. This resource is very “green” because bamboo is one of renewable resources on the planet(organicbambooclothing.com). Organic cotton is a lot better for the environment because it does not use insecticides, herbicides, pesticides, or chemical fertilizers. (treehugger.com). Hemp clothing uses the cellulose fiber from the hemp plant to create many products (earthyeasy.com). The hemp plants require very little water and help renew the topsoil (earthyeasy.com).
These environmentally friendly clothes are still very fashionable. They can be worn as evening wear, casual clothing, and lounge wear. I really love how the fashion industry is supporting the eco-friendly movement. The fashions can really help the environment because if the fashion trend is to wear clothing made out of organic products then that is what the “new it thing” is.
