I think that the movement for organic and environmental friendly clothing is a great thing. Environmental issues are very important for our generation, and it is great that companies are raising awareness. A lot of times at work, I see people coming in with reusable bags to put their clothing in when they go shopping, instead of getting shopping bags. At first it was strange, but now I see it a lot and just based on the bags, I think consumers would be willing to pay extra if they knew the clothes that they were wearing were all natural.
Many companies and designers are trying many things to ensure that their products are all natural. They invest billions of dollars and really are grabbing the attention of the consumers. I think that we should support the Sustainable Style Foundation for what they do to help designers keep up with the latest sustainability trends. Fibers such as organic cotton can be used for ear swabs all the way up to clothing. It is hoped that this will be used more in the future, and that enough consumers will be involved in making the difference for clothing made in years to come.
The only main issue with using environmentally safe methods of producing clothing is that the price will increase. Some people are all for the natural and organic movement, but they don't realize the cost that clothes will be. To naturally dye a product, the price of the good would increase 10 to 40 percent. With gas prices sky rocketing, and being a broke college student, it's hard to say if many people would sacrifice more money on clothes and less on other things they may need. For now, the movement to organic and environmentallly friendly clothing is starting slow, but is gaining speed and in the future, I think a big difference will be made.
