Still looking for a new year’s resolution? Well even if you aren’t, 2012 is a great time to start going green. We all know the basics and importance of recycling, but there’s another effective and fun way to help the planet, eco-fashion! With the green movement growing, more designer and stores, such as H&M, are offering environmentally conscious lines. Traditional eco-fashion textiles were often seen as expensive and uncomfortable. However, environmentally friendly textiles have come a long way. Two materials that are commonly used are organic cotton and bamboo. The pesticides used to grow traditional cotton are extremely harmful to the environment. When you buy a product made from organic cotton, you are helping to save our planet! Bamboo is exceptionally versatile, making it incredibly eco-friendly resource. Bamboo fibers can be woven together to create a soft and breathable fabric. The fashion industry has made remarkable progress in eco-friendly materials, even textiles made from recycled water bottles! With the start of a new year, it’s a great time to begin making environmentally conscious decisions in your life (and for your wardrobe!). Next time you’re out shopping, look to see what your garment is made from and make the eco-friendly decision; you can help reduce the fashion industry’s carbon footprint and save the planet!
