Fashionable, Functional, and Light on the Earth: Green Clothing

Author

Making clothing, like any other product, has an impact on the environment. In order to reduce the negative impact, buy reused clothing from thrift stores or good quality, long-lasting new products that are made from recycled content or unconventional fibers. Organic cotton or alternative fibers, such as bamboo or hemp, don't require as many chemicals to grow.
