Organic and Environmental Friendly Clothing

I am totally for the organic and environmental friendly clothing. I have seen some people wear it, and you cannot tell the difference, and it looks just as good as regular material made from animals, and such. I don't think that many people are aware that there are organic clothing out there, which is why you don't see many wearing it.
Furthermore, according to the Organic Trade Association, organic fiber sales rose approximately 23 % in 2003, which brings organic fibers in the marketplace to 0.04% of the total marketplace fibers. the OTA estimates a 11-18% per year in the span of the next four years. "Although alternative fibers can complicate the production process, manufacturers continue to pursue them." (OTA)
Some examples of organic fiber are, organic wool, which will assures sheep are treated in an ethical manner and helps promote organic agriculture. Next there is organic cotton, which will eliminate the use of chemical pesticides, fertilizer, delfoliants and other toxins. Currently, organic cotton makes up only 0.06% of the world's supply. Hemp is known for its strength and insulate properties, and been used for thousand of years. "It is the strongest natural fiber known, wicks moisture and helps block UV and UVB rays." (Berne Broudy). Last but not least, bamboo, a grass fiber, wild harvested and mostly in China. There is a limited demand for bamboo, but it is being considered for making organic fibers.
I have learned a few things about these natural fibers, and I think that this is not just a trend, but a revolution, and it is here to stay.
