My younger sister is an environmentally and politically conscious young lady.  She is a longtime vegan and I really celebrate her strong convictions.  I also know that because she lives in a small town, she has difficulty finding fair trade and organic clothes.  I’m certain she’s been wearing the same clothes for the last year and a half.

I was surfing the web and I found this great stylish track-inspired jacket for her.  Best of all, it’s an organic coat, so it fits my sister’s clothing requirements.  I’m getting ready to send it out to her, but there isn’t a doubt in my mind that she’ll love it – not only because it’s a great jacket, but also because no chemicals had been used in the process of production.

Organic cotton is grown using different methods than conventional cotton and is often produced for the purpose of organic clothing.  In ordered to be labeled as organic, growers, producers, and manufacturers must follow strict guidelines.  Everything about the process is inspected carefully.  If any of the standards or guidelines are not met, then the cotton cannot be certified as organic.

The process of making organic cotton begins with the soil.  Most organic farmers use soil that is extra rich in nutrients.  When the soil is healthy, the plant will be healthy and more resistant to problems that would otherwise require chemicals like pesticides or herbicides.

Farmers create nutritious soil by crop rotation and cover cropping.  Crop rotation is a practice in which different crops are rotated among the same fields.  By varying the crops in each field, over time, it enriches the soil with different nutrients that help sustain the cotton crop the next time it is planted.  Cover cropping is a system of planting crops that cover the soil and help prevent erosion.  It also provides nitrogen for the upcoming cotton crop if it is tilled into the soil prior to planting or it can reduce the release of nutrients if planted after the cotton.

There are numerous benefits to growing organic cotton.  The main benefit is that there are fewer chemicals in the environment.  Research has proven that exposure to harsh chemicals like pesticides can cause mild problems such as headaches and nausea.  Prolonged exposure can cause more serious illnesses like cancer or problems with our hormones, nervous system, reproductive system and immune system.  Goods grown organically also retain more of their natural nutritional value.

For my birthday this year, my girlfriend bought me an organic bath robe and I have to say that it’s the most comfortable bath robe I’ve ever worn.  Now even though I’ve only worn a bath robe a total of three times (one of which was when I was 6 years old), I know comfort and I’m in love with this bamboo bath robe.  The material isn’t at all abrasive and if I could get away with wearing it to work, I would.

Purchasing fair trade clothing may seem like something that it’s a trend, but it should be a long-term commitment that can have some really positive effects.  Most commercially available clothes are manufactured in sweatshops; even brands that are advertised as sweatshop-free and made in the United States (such as American Apparel), have run into accusations of discouraging their employees from unionizing. 

Fair trade clothing ensures that you can be fashionable without having your ethics compromised in anyway.  In the end, it’s all a fair game.
