As the organic and the Eco Friendly Cottonmovement expands people are also becoming conscience of the environmental impact of what they put on the outside of their bodies as well as within. Hence clothing made with Organic Fibers…

  Organic Clothing such as a 100% Organic Cotton Shirt is of course made from cotton grown under the USDA Certified Organic Regulations. This is relatively easy since the cotton seeds and oil have a market as organic food ingredients. So as a result, you have this rich source of organic cotton fibers that can be used for clothing. However, as Michael writes on organicclothing.blogs.com you have to still be aware since these fibers can be processed with chemicals and, in general, be non-Eco Friendly. He writes:

So your favorite cotton shirt can be made from 100% certified organic cotton even though the cotton fabric might be full of chemical finishes and heavy metal dyes. For any product sold in the U.S. – regardless of where it was grown or produced – to carry the USDA Organic logo, it must have been inspected by a certified agent of the USDA certification program. This is the current state of government regulations for organic fibers in the U.S.

He discusses this as well as other issues such as well such as the use of recycled materials and international regulations. The link to Michael’s excellent article is given below.

    Bamboo is probably the most ecological source of one of the best textile fabrics around. It produces strong, color fast, cooler clothing and doesn’t retain odors.

    I highly recommend buying bamboo. It makes doing something for the environment look good!
