Organic Clothing And Our Way Of Life

Author : Serena Pulman


         


If we go for natural fabric as our mission,we achieve many things without being aware of it. The vast farm lands which are being used for cotton farming will not be using the harmful fertilizers which were hitherto progressively damaging the eco system.

There are obvious and glaring examples through out the world,one of them is the dead zones of Gulf of Mexico. This is created by the continuous use of harmful chemicals containing in the heavy fertilizers,which is constantly pouring to the rivers and is carried down stream. This not only damages the eco balancing of the earth but also a constant threat to the endangered species,notable among them is the bald eagle.

Having taken a decision to go for only clothes that is organic or in other words without chemicals,we have to also take into account that the clothing which you are going to have,has to pass the test of fair trade regulations. The fair trade is nothing but to ensure legally and ethically that the workers who are engaged in the production of these items are treated fairly and their remunerations are in commensurate with their efforts

Adhering to the fair trade regulations is a current trend particularly for those who take the organics as their way of life and also for them who are dreaming of a pollution free earth. But the negative flip of the coin is the cost of production of eco friendly clothing. The eco friendly and fair trade goods are indeed expensive due to their cost of production. The fabrics which are exposed to fertilizers and pesticides are far cheaper than the organic one.

The use of pesticides and fertilizers are less in the products of organic fabric and it also avoids greatly the irritation of the skin,a common disorder coming under allergic reactions. This causes mainly due to the use of certain addictives which are being used for a wrinkle free look of the fabric. The chemical,Formaldehyde which is the prime ingredient as a bonder for the wrinkle free look of the fabric is a known irritant prompting the allergic attack. It also causes other problems even leading to cancer at certain cases.

Even though the quantities of Formaldehyde in clothing are in the tolerance level of the vast majority of people,it does give harmful effects to those who are prone to allergies. Many countries have already banned the use of Formaldehyde in cosmetics.

The chemical formaldehyde is a necessary evil for the upkeep of the cloths. Without this so far it has been proved that the maintenance of the cloths are indeed difficult. We are getting improvement on this side too,as we are getting the organic substances which are tailor made for the upkeep of the organic clothing.

Thankfully we have now organic products which give the same effect as that of a product based on chemicals. These products are gentle and bio degradable and hence no damage to the environment.
