The Ups and Downs of Organic Fabrics

While much has been touted about organic fabrics, made from materials such as soy, bamboo or hemp, these materials can still be harmful to the environment. Carefully read the labels of self-proclaimed green fabrics because some of them have been treated with chemicals to make them soft, like cottons. Or because they aren't as durable as some of the other fabrics on the market, they wear out faster and need to be replaced - Encouraging more consumerism. Don't despair though as improvements are being made every day.
