Let’s Discuss About Eco Living, Eco Natural and Ethical Fashion
Have you been hearing much about ethical fashion or eco natural clothing these days? If so, why is it important? Well, to answer these questions we start understand how clothing is manufactured today.
Most clothing available in stores today is produced in an unethical manner using sweatshop and/or child labour to ensure a larger profit margin. Manufacturers use unsustainable fabrics like non-organic cotton (dubbed as natural, it accounts for almost 25% of all pesticide use) and polyester (which is a petroleum by-product). Besides that, conventional dying practices are used and these practices release chlorine, chromium, and other pollutants into the environment.
What is Eco Natural Clothing?
Like it or not, our lifestyles and choices can affect the environment. We can take simple steps to by simply switching our buying patterns for ourselves and our families to include products made of low impact materials.
Consumers are growing weary of the quantity without quality in mind. Most designers with an eco natural spirit bent to their art, work in small batches, producing high quality goods with exceptional fabrics. Consumers are supporting the expansion of the sustainable textile industry, small farmers and farm co-operatives. This also explains the growth of the organic food industry. Every one of us should in our own ways help to reduce our environmental impact, do our part in our social contribution, follow our consciences, hold on to some simplicity, and continue celebrating eco living in all its forms.
