Eco-Fashion Trends

ECO-FRIENDLY FASHION LINES ARE BECOMING MORE CONSCIOUS OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS OF TEXTILE PRODUCTION.  HEAR MORE ABOUT ECO-STYLES ON TODAY’S ENVIRONMINUTE.        

ONLY A FEW ECO-CONSCIOUS FASHION LINES EXIST TODAY, BUT MORE DESIGNERS ARE BECOMING PART OF THE MOVEMENT.  MADE WITH VEGETABLE DYES, ORGANIC COTTON, AND WOOL, AND MANUFACTURED BY FAIRLY PAID WORKERS, THE NEW MATERIALS ARE BETTER FOR YOUR HEALTH AND THE ENVIRONMENT, AND MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE THAN PAST SCRATCHY PROTOTYPES.  ABOUT TWENTY-FIVE PERCENT OF THE WORLD’S INSECTICIDES ARE PUT TO USE SAVING CONVENTIONAL COTTON CROPS -- ORGANIC CLOTHING SAVES US FROM A LARGE PART OF THOSE PESTICIDES.  IN ADDITION, REGULAR CLOTHING REQUIRES TREATMENT FROM UP TO EIGHT THOUSAND CHEMICALS BEFORE IT REACHES YOUR CLOSET.  ORGANIC CLOTHING ELIMINATES UNNATURAL CHEMICAL TREATMENTS, AND KEEPS RISKY MOLECULES FROM BEING ABSORBED INTO YOUR SKIN, AS WELL AS YOUR FAMILY’S.

THE ENVIRONMINUTE IS MADE POSSIBLE BY THE HEINZ FAMILY PHILANTHROPIES AND THE HEINZ ENDOWMENTS.  LEARN MORE BY VISITING ENVIRONMINUTE-DOT-COM.
