In today's society everyone is always on the go and are always looking for the quickest solutions to our everyday needs. This however, can become a problem and hazard for our environment if we do not take proper precautions with anything that we can do to help! Just recently the term, "Go Green" has become popular with many celebrities and other environmentalists. It is important to realize that celebrities do tend to create an image most want to follow, and with fashion is a good way to start!
Textile producers as well as other apparel manufacturers are now trying to show how cautious and responsible they are by trying to include ways of helping this process. They now are including organic and even recycled materials, which are in turn less toxic materials. These include low-impact dyes. These manufacturers are also using less water in their production which really helps out in the end. Also, the cotton industry has produced more "environmentally cleaner" processes which include naturally colored cotton, organic cotton, reduced water use, and even "cleaner" dyeing methods. One company that is known for their organic clothing is EDUN. All of these examples and more can be found in our textbook on pages 128-132.
Hopefully this has given you insight on fabrics and materials used so that you can be more aware and cautious of what to look for when your out shopping!
