The new trend these days seem to be what they call "going green". We as people have not been too aware, nor have we really cared, about what we are doing to the earth. Fashion contributes to this as well as many other things. Designers have begun to use organic cotton to make clothing. Organic cotton is free from pesticides and chemicals. Not only is this helpful to the environment, but it is also healthy for us.
Believe it or not, people have died from cotton farming due to chemical poisonings. Anytime people are dying from what we use in a fabric, something is terribly wrong. Instead of using dangerous pesticides to control the insects that inhabit these farms, they use natural prey that kill the insects.
Big companies have joined the efforts in protecting the earth as well. Nike helps by using the organic cotton to make some of their clothing. Other companies such as H&M, LLBean, and The Gap are also taking part in the effort. Way to make the world a better place. Who ever thought that fashion would be such a big part in saving the planet?
