Organic and Environmental Friendly Clothing
Through out history people have been attempting to create bigger and better things, at a faster pace. Apparel is no different than any other product subjected to quicker production pressures. Man-made fibers have been manufactured in order to create quicker and a more predictable production rate. Producing synthetic fibers has caused our air to become more polluted than it would be if we would only use organic materials. According to the Organic-Nature-News (website) many deaths each year are caused by the pesticides which are used to help make natural fibers (such as cotton plants) produce more fibers.
However, natural fibers are being manufactured in more organic ways. Instead of pesticides and fertilizers organic farmers use ladybugs and manure (Organic-Nature-News). Every year the organic clothing market grows at least 11% each year and is expected to obtain over $3 billion dollars in profits by the year 2010 (Organic-Nature-News).
The world it attempting to become more environmentally friendly. Using organically produced fibers such as organic cotton, silk, and hemp (which is still illegal in the United States) are being used to produce clothing all over the world. The only obstacles which farmers face when attempting to produce organic fibers are the costs it requires. But with the demand for organic products weather it be foods or clothing has been increasing steadily over the years. Hopefully the costs to produce more natural products will decrease.
