Living Green and sustainability are buzz words that are heard often these days. When one thinks about these terms, we tend to think of building a building that requires less energy to heat or cool, or recycling or eating organic food. But, these concepts go far beyond those ideas and have even reached into the fashion industry. Environmentally friendly clothes are increasingly becoming more popular, and the designers of these clothes are making sure that they are keeping up with the fashion trends.
What are environmentally friendly clothes or organic clothing? Clothes that are made from plants, such as cotton, that have been grown organically or in other words, without the use of pesticides and herbicides. While in the past there were only a few companies that carried an environmentally friendly line of clothes, it is becoming more and more popular. Going beyond the thought that environmentally friendly clothes make our world a better place, another reason to wear organic clothes is because they do not contain chemicals that cause some people to react negatively to non-organic clothes.
Even designers are taking a step in the more eco-friendly direction. Some designers, such as Stella McCartney, have designed and produced organic clothing since they started their fashion lines. Even big stars, such as Natalie Portman (who has started her own vegan line of shoes) and Alicia Silverstone have made a point to only wear organic clothing, thus starting a new trend in Hollywood.
Today the environment is no longer about politics. The younger generation is becoming passionate about recycling and being environmentally friendly. It is hard to go anywhere these days without seeing a young adult wearing a shirt bearing the words “green is the new black.” And, I personally feel that we are heading in the right direction.
