Organic Cloth And The Common Man

by Green Girl on March 9, 2010

If we take a decision to have fabrics which is devoid of any chemicals we will be one among many to be instrumental for avoiding many negative impacts which are having far reaching consequences. The notable among them is that we are taking the first step to remove the harmful chemicals from the fertilizers and pesticides at our surroundings which are directly responsible for altering the ecosystem.

As a matter of fact,the implementation of fair trade practices and the encouragement of taking up the organic way of life is the only hope for the maintenance of earth’s eco equilibrium. But there is a negative aspect of this case too,though not that serious,that the expenses involved in the organic way of life. Indeed the organic fabric is expensive.

Having taken a decision to go for only clothes that is organic or in other words without chemicals,we have to also take into account that the clothing which you are going to have,has to pass the test of fair trade regulations. The fair trade is nothing but to ensure legally and ethically that the workers who are engaged in the production of these items are treated fairly and their remunerations are in commensurate with their efforts

In fact,we can easily assume that it is the only way to maintain the sustainable growth of our earth. May be there is a negative side in the Fair Trade Regulations,i.e. the cost of production of these products will be increased. The reason being that the products supported with chemical fertilizers give a faster growth and those with natural ingredients can only give a steady growth which is more sustainable

The use of pesticides and fertilizers are less in the products of organic fabric and it also avoids greatly the irritation of the skin,a common disorder coming under allergic reactions. This causes mainly due to the use of certain addictives which are being used for a wrinkle free look of the fabric. The chemical,Formaldehyde which is the prime ingredient as a bonder for the wrinkle free look of the fabric is a known irritant prompting the allergic attack. It also causes other problems even leading to cancer at certain cases.

Though the level of Formaldehyde is acceptable as it appears for majority of the people,it does have drastic effect for those who are prone to allergic attack. This chemical has already been banned in some of the countries.

Finally the caring of natural fabric in the absence of anti wrinkle chemicals,yes,it is in fact a challenge. How fast pure cotton will crumble is a known fact.

When you are for organic clothing you have to go for soft laundry soaps made from organic substances,as naturally the harsh chemicals will certainly reduce the look and durability of the cotton fabrics. The greatest aspect is that such organic detergents are bio degradable and posing no threat to the eco system.
