If you are similar to the majority of young people, the state of the environment (and the gradual decline of the planet) is the last thing on your mind when you are shopping for clothes; instead, you will typically be looking, firstly, at whatever catches your eye and looks good, and will be looking, secondly, at the price of these clothes. While this is definitely the easiest way to shop, however, it is also worth understanding exactly what ecologically-conscious shopping is, and why it matters.
Of course, even if you are not the type to pay close attention to these sorts of things, you have surely heard talk of global warming, and of the climate change that has been occurring worldwide over the last several decades; you have probably heard of the melting glaciers in the Arctic Circle and the rising ocean, but you might not have realized all the things this means. For instance, you might not have realized that another 50 to 100 years down the path we are currently on could spell the end of the world as we know it - and no, we won't feel fine!
Even though you may think of the big things that come to mind when you think of climate change (that is, if you think of climate change) - things such as automobiles and airplanes and gigantic factories - the truth is, there are plenty of seemingly little things that make a major difference in the state of the planet, and the manner in which clothing is manufactured is one of these seemingly little things.
When clothes are manufactured in a "conventional" manner (that is, in a non-organic, non-ecologically-conscious manner), the materials used for making these clothes tend to have been raised in ways that directly contribute to the continual decline of the environment; then, when these clothes are colored, the dyes used are packed with chemicals that - again - contribute directly to the persistent decline of the planet Earth.
When clothes are manufactured in an organic manner, on the other hand, the materials used in order to make these clothes are raised with the planet in mind, which means that they are enabling the planet to recover, rather than making things worse for the generations of the future; and then, of course, when these clothes are colored, it is done so with non-toxic, non-harmful dyes that, once again, give the planet a chance to get its feet under it again for future generations.
