I completely support organic and environmental friendly clothing. I think that everyone should process their fibers and fabrics through organic ways. There would much less contamenated water from runoff and things like that. One of my favorite organic processes is when cotton grows an actual color, not just white. I think that because we can grow cotton actual colors there is no need to use chemicals and dyes on naturally white or off white cotton. We can now engineer cotton to grow the colors we want. To grow naturally colored cotton it takes less than one ounce of pesticides. Along with cotton that naturally grows a color, I would like to see more Green cotton. Green cotton is cotton that has been washed with a mild natural soap. Green cotton has also not been bleached or chemically treated.

ronmentally friendly. Sheeps, for example, are sheared and then the hair is washed, may be dye
d, and finally spun into yarn to be used for many different things. If the shearer is good and quick then the sheep goes through no pain at all. There may be discomfort but after the shearing is over the sheep would feel much lighter without that big coat of hair. Sheep are typically sheared twice a year.
Alot of people are trying to be "green" nowadays. There are alot of companies that only use organically grown and processed fabrics. Such as Organic Childrenswear by Green Cotton. The company behind Green Cotton is Novotex A/S. All the cotton used in their childrenswear line is certified as organic cotton by KRAV, IMO, and CUC(different independent institutions that certify organic cotton).
