Similar to those people chose not to intake food that are exposed to insecticides or pesticides in order to maintain proper health, the same people feel the same way about their clothing as well. There are thousands who are not happy with the exploitation of animals and the planet. Health and fashion are starting to work hand in hand. I too am a person who doesn't consume any inorganic meats or milks. I've read up on the health risks that these hormones can do to the body and for three years now I've been eating organic foods. I must say they taste so much better, the milk lasts longer and all in all it's a lot healthier. That's my health story with foods, but here are some reasons to wear environmentally friendly clothing.
1. Skin Protection
Environmental friendly do not contain harsh dyes that can be potentially harmful to the skin. Some people cannot wear certain types of clothing due to the dyes causing a serious break out on their skin.
2. Fashionable
Eco- Friendly clothing are very unique in that they aren't commonly found at your local Forever 21 or H&M. These garments are made with the best fabrics as well as innovative designs.
3. Social Consciousness
Wearing environmental friendly clothing will help stir up the consciousness of your community. You will be sending a powerful message to those that see you in the clothing and possibly introducing them to alternatives that can protect our planet in the long run.
4. Cause
Many of the fashion designers of environmental friendly clothing will donate a percentage of their earnings to causes that support the protection of our environment. Designers donate 3-10% of their earnings to the efforts of social civic organizations that are dedicated to saving The Earth.
It may seem like a lot of pressure to basically change your entire lifestyle just to keep our world healthy, but if our world is healthy, we're healthy. So do you want to join this movement? I don't know if I'm ready to take this big leap, but this research has put some thought into my head about possibly converting over. Maybe if I take baby steps this can somehow become a reality!
