You are helping to protect the environment when you shop smart. Here's the latest on clothes that can make you look good and help preserve Mother Earth!
Would you like to learn how to be ecologically on point when you get dressed, just as you are when you recycle? Many companies around the country are making it really easy. In fact, your plastic soda bottle could even become your next favorite pullover!
Spinning recycled goods into fabric is one way the Green Movement has reinvented itself in the clothing industry. Plastic-bottle yarn--made into shirts, polar-fleece sweaters and knit dresses is just one product used in eco-fashions--garments produced in ways that cause as little harm to the earth as possible.
"The whole point of the eco movement in the fashion industry," according to Marylou Marsh Sanders, founder of Ecosport, "is to get rid of the need for pesticide sprays on cotton, which can later get into the skin." She adds, "If you feel tired, it may be your garment! You may feel better wearing organic cotton."
Organic-cotton clothes, the term used to define cotton grown without pesticides, were first made more than 20 years ago. Then, in the early eighties, Sally Fox bred cotton that grows naturally in brown and green, eliminating the need for dyes, which seep into our drinking water. Her company, Natural Cotton Colours, Inc., is a raw-cotton producer.
Another less toxic coloring method is laser imprinting. Jennifer Gentry, spokeswoman for Ecosport, says, "It's similar to a color-copying machine. Color is printed on release paper, which acts as an adhesive when heat from the laser prints the design on the garment."
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRESH FASHIONS
The softness of an organic-cotton cap inspired two sisters to add a new wrinkle to the Green Movement. Carole Bailey and Judyth Johnson opened The Organic Cotton Company and Such in Montclair, New Jersey, a year ago. They sell pro-Earth clothing in such colors as ivory, brown and green. While the easy-style garments are good for any body type, Johnson explains, "the look is also really flattering for larger women." The entrepreneurs have the environment in mind in even the smallest details. "Our bags, the bows on our bags and our business cards are all made from recycled paper," Bailey says. yanzic0504
