Organic VS. Environmentally Friendly... Clothing.

Any material made from natural plant and animal skin is considered organic. On the other hand, environmentally friendly material is made from artificial fibers such as: acrylic, polyester, and spandex. In most cases, environmentally friendly clothing is what you find in department stores at reasonable prices. Top name designers use and produce more goods made with organic material. I have several ways at looking at this situation. I feel that the quality of organic clothing is better quality and will give you better wear and last longer. At the same time, I think our world needs to work to preserve our resources. The best way to do this is by being environmentally friendly and may be the better option.

Considering how cheap artificial fibers are to produce, we as consumers are able to get more for our money. Environmentally friendly clothing has become more common over the years. People have always been about 'more for the money'. Even though environmentally friendly clothes do not seem to hold up quite as long as clothes made with organic fibers, they are more afforable and easy to be replaced. Also, because you can get more for your money you are able to get more of a variety with environmentally friendly clothing. The most important part about environmentally friendly clothing that we should remember, is the fact that we are not using or harming our resources. Most of the artificial fibers that make up the material that is used are recycled matter and yet again, environmentally friendly.

Do not get me wrong I love animal fur and print just as much as the next person. A real fur coat would be nice to own someday, but at the same time I love my animals too. I do not believe in skinning them to wear them on our bodies even if they do keep us the most warm and make the best clothing. They deserve to live as much as we do. However, just as I said before, these days we are beginning to use more environmentally friendly clothing because we demand quick, easy, and affordable. We are finally starting to realize we need to make efforts to live differently if we plan on having an earth to live over the next several decades.
