Organic Clothing
Conventional Clothing
There are a few very powerful individuals who take advantage of something that is shared with the rest of humanity for their interest and that is the planet! They make cheap products, made with toxic materials, pollute the environment, they exploit the labor and then sell these to us!
❌ Synthetic material: polyester, nylon, acrylic, spandex, rayon, or polyamide. They are all petroleum-derived!
These clothing release 9MILLION plastic microfibers into the ocean every time we wash them. They make up 35% of the primary microplastics found in the oceans!🌎
❌ Conventional Cotton: is considered the world’s dirtiest crop due to its heavy use of pesticides. Conventional cotton requires farmers to purchase seeds every year from AG chemical companies like Monsanto. Roundup Ready Cotton (RR Cotton), has been genetically modified to survive the herbicide weapon called glyphosate Roundup, invented by Monsanto. Resulting in predictable consequences of stronger weed resistance to glyphosate, which in turn led to an increase in pesticide use. The glyphosate rate of application per crop year has tripled on cotton farms.
Avoid conventional cotton of any kind. Any cotton brand without the Organic Certification seal is considered conventional = toxic.
Greenwashing Clothing
Avoid greenwashing Clothing. Greenwashing is when a brand pretends to be natural, and green when it is not. It is a misleading marketing strategy to puc the customers to buy their products,
❌ Greenwashing Cotton: Even if they claim “organic” or “natural” cotton, if they don’t display the GOTS Certified seal, they may have something to hide.
❌ Recycled synthetic material: it still releases microplastic when washing
❌ Controversial manufactory: dresses made by exploiting child labor and in other unfair environments
❌ Avoid Viscose AKA Rayon: Viscose Rayon is responsible for deforestation in Indonesia. Every year, 3.2 billion trees are cut down to make paper packaging or fabrics such as rayon and viscose.
Viscose fabric is made from cellulose that’s been extracted from the bark, wood, or leaves of plants. It’s most often made from bamboo, pine, or eucalyptus trees. Viscose is used to make clothing (especially loungewear and activewear), sheets, and bedding. Viscose is toxic: chemicals are then used to break down cellulose so it can be spun into viscose—some of which are toxic. One of the most ubiquitous, and dangerous, is carbon disulfide.
❌ Avoid Bamboo viscose AKA Bamboo rayon: It is a bio-based semi-synthetic material created from cellulose fibers from bamboo. Even though bamboo is grown without pesticides, it is made into viscose which requires toxic chemicals (chemicals carbon disulfide, solvents such as sodium hydroxide — a.k.a caustic soda) and a polluting process. Plus it is mostly made in China! Therefore bamboo viscose is greenwashing
❌ Avoid Modal: viscose that has been made using a closed-loop production process. This more sustainable process also tends to lead to slightly stronger, more durable fabrics.
❌ Avoid Lyocell: it’s processing also omits certain harmful chemicals altogether.
❌ Avoid Lenzing: Lenzing is a fiber production company based in Austria.
❌ Avoid Tencel: Tencel is Lenzing’s trademarked version of lyocell or modal yarn
We can either wait for the institutions to act to protect us or we can take action to change the system by not feeding the wallets of these toxic and extremely wealthy companies. We can start now to protect our health and the health of the planet 🌎 While some keep intoxicating us and the polluting world, it is up to us to not feed this unsustainable system.
How? Here is what you can do:
Take action now with our wallets to change the system, and reward responsible and suitable brands. Choose organic and natural fiber such as cotton but not just any cotton, GOTS Certified Organic Cotton!
Organic Clothing
They are made with all-natural, safer material that respects us, our skin, the farmer, workers, and the planet
✅ GOTS Certified Organic Cotton: GOTS is the worldwide leading textile processing standard for organic fibers, including ecological and social criteria. The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) was created to set criteria for how fibers and textiles must be ginned, knitted, woven, dyed, manufactured, and labeled.
Get familiar with the logo, spot it on 👗clothing, bed sheets, kitchen towels, 🧖♀️bath towels, linen, 🧦socks, robes, pajamas, 👩🍼baby clothes, and more.
🍃By choosing only GOTS-certified organic, we are sending a clear message to the toxic and greenwashing cotton companies: their marketing strategies are not working with us. By not supporting their brands, we are reshaping the market for better and more responsible products. 🌎
I am determined to support only companies that care about us and the planet.
