Wearing organic clothing isn’t about attaching yourself to a movement or, to some, a popular trend; it’s also about being aware. Chemically-treated cotton contains several pesticides and can be harmful to both adults and children alike. Also, you have to wonder what becomes of the chemicals that aren’t full absorbed by the cotton. They’re found in our air, water and soil. Destroying this planet for fashion seems rather counterproductive, if not a tad bit selfish.
Finding eco-friendly clothing isn’t difficult nowadays and it’s even more common that you’ll find textiles that haven’t been in a sweatshop environment. The next time you’re thinking about buying a cheaply made shirt from a store, think about all the harm that that article of clothing may have caused and think about the benefits – both environmentally and to your personal health – of buying an organic counterpart. You may feel a little bit better about it.
