The society today is in a state of changing. Everywhere ways of doing things are changing and the
items that we use on a daily basis are also changing. This change has also come to the clothing business.
Most people are not aware that organic clothing production is now a billion-dollar industry. Many of us
probably don't even know what organic clothing is.
Organic clothing is the material that is made and grown in accordance with organic standards. This
means that in the process of growing the material no harm is done to the air, water and the earth itself.
These materials are not harmful to the earth's natural ecological system and meet the standards of what is
well known today as "going green". Another fact that most people are not aware of is that the clothing
industry adds more pollution to the natural environment than most other industries.
Cotton is one material where pesticides are used a lot because the crops are always being attacked
by various insects and bugs. On the contrary, organically grown cotton does not use any of these harmful
pesticides and nor do they add any other chemicals to the natural cotton.
Organic clothing is catching onbut you may not find it in your local department stores. However, you
would be more likely to find a better variety by going online. Organic clothing may be a bit more
expensive than ordinary clothing. Cotton is not the only material that is grown organically, although it is
very popular.    Other materials include hemp, bamboo and wool. Just as with organically grown cotton,
there are no pesticides or chemicals used in the growing process of these materials. Most people say that
clothing made from organic cotton has a smoother feel and is softer and gentler on the skin.
