Organic and Environmental Friendly Clothing

I personally think that organic and environmentally friendly clothing are awesome. They are stylish as well as better for the environment and consumers that wear them. I reasonally visited a website that had designs by Jonano. Jonano clothes and products are made from oragnic material such as bamboo, ecokashmere, ecottongrown, organic cotton and crisp hemp linen. Orgainc clothing are expensive to a certain extend but at the same time its better for the environment. Jonano has a collection called "Daffodil" which benefits cancer research. Jonano mission is to create a world without caner.
According to an article called "How Organic Clothing Works", which was written by Maria Colenso, there are several reason why people should wear organic clothing. The first reason is the fact that 12.8 million acres of conventiaonal cotton is grown in the US. However 55 million pounds of pesticides are sprayed on that 12.8 million acres produced. The second reason is that the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) estimates that 7 of the 15 pesticides used on cotton in the US are probable or know to cause cancer in humans. The third reason is that organic farming uses 50% less energy to grow products then conventional farming.
I think that it would be great if everyone atleast brought one peiece of organic clothing just t0 see what they think about it. There are alot of people in the world who could care less about the environment but for the percentage of those who do we can make a difference.
