1st – By choosing certified organic products, you make a choice to support farmers and manufacturers who embrace organic practices. These practices will avoid many negative consequences such as:

Toxic runoff of chemicals into our soil, oceans, rivers, lakes, sewers and septic systems

Agricultural runoff may include insecticides, herbicides, fungicides and chemical fertilizers which can potentially get into our water supplies.

Overburdened and toxic land fills

Synthetics like latex, nylon, spandex and many other synthetic "chemically treated" textiles inevitably end up in landfills. In truth, they do not break down easily and sometimes not at all! Moreover, the chemicals from these synthetics end up leaching into our soil and watershed!

Increased carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere

While carbon dioxide is a necessary component to the earth's atmosphere, conventional agricultural practices have contributed to additional levels of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere. This and other increased levels of "greenhouse gases" have contributed to a rising in the Earth's temperature. We recognize this as the "greenhouse gas effect". Other greenhouse gasses produced from non-organic practices include: methane, nitrous oxide and fluorinated gases.  

2nd – Organic clothing is comfortable.

Organic fabrics are softer, more comfortable and simply breathe better than conventional "chemical treated" fabrics.

3rd - By using organic products, you help to maintain good health.

Consider the bleaches, chemical dyes, flame retardants and everything else that goes into the non-organic clothing. Our skin can potentially absorb many of these toxic compounds. However, organic fabric is easy on the skin. For those with particular sensitivities towards chemicals and synthetic dyes, organic fabric can be the smart alternative.

5th – Organic clothing last longer.

Chemicals can take a beating on non-organic clothing. Your basic non-organic t-shirt may get 10-20 washes then begin to fade and break down. Organic clothing can last much longer without showing any signs of wear!  Sure, organic clothes are a little more expensive, but the durability outweighs the cost by far.

6th- Organic products are good for our planet. Certified organic products that result from purely organic agricultural and manufacturing practices have a low environmental impact – period!

There has never been a better time to switch over to organic clothing because there has never been a time where the environment needed us as much as it does now. The world has a view of organic clothing being somewhat outdated. We picture Woodstock, tie-dye, and oversized sweaters as being part of the organic movement, without ever looking into the facts. The fact of the matter is that organic clothing is becoming extremely popular because it’s not only made out of renewable and eco-friendly fabrics, but it’s also extremely trendy and stylish.

Organic clothing is made out of natural products, which cut down on the amount of waste that is put into the air and water when it is produced. Most people probably do not realize how harmful synthetic materials are for the environment, but they truly do a lot of damage. None of the plants that are used to make this organic clothing are treated with chemicals either, which means that they are better for your skin as well. Anything that falls into the organic category must pass a number of tests in order to be considered as such. This means that you know exactly what you are getting when you purchase organic clothing.

When chemicals are used to treat our clothing, we’re automatically exposing ourselves to things to which we were not meant to be exposed. This can lead to significant health problems in the future, so it is definitely something that is worth looking into. One reason that people often question the production of organic clothing is that it is often associated with hemp production. It all depends on what the plant is being grown for and when hemp is grown for clothing production, it is one of the most useful existing plants.

Our carbon footprints, in general, are getting out of control, so something must be done in order to slow this process down. Buying organic clothing might seem like a small thing to do for the environment, but its impact can be long lasting. The damage that our clothing is doing to the environment is major, as the factories that create these clothes are constantly pumping pollution into our air and water. In addition, cultivating things like cotton and then using synthetic material requires much more power than simply using organic materials. In the end, there are countless reasons as to why it’s a good idea to start wearing organic clothing. The choice is up to you, but doing your part for the environment has never been this easy.
