Clothes made from conventional cotton and synthetic fibres require huge amounts of land, non-renewable resources, water, and chemicals to be produced. Fortunately there are several natural and organic clothing options available, including cotton, hemp and bamboo fibres. These are environmentally friendly crops and do not require pesticides, chemical fertilizers and herbicides.
Babies, children and people with sensitive skin, chemical sensitivities, asthma, and other health issues may benefit from wearing organic and natural clothes because they are softer and gentler on the skin.
The Australian Organic Directory lists suppliers of soft, functional, organic, fair trade and sustainable clothing for men, women and children. This organic cotton, bamboo, soy, silk and hemp clothing, underwear, pyjamas, sleepwear, yoga wear, dresses, tops, pants, gym wear, maternity wear, t-shirts, tanks, hoodies and more, plus fair trade, ethical footwear and socks for adults and children.
