Organic textiles

To me, organic fabrics and products can be a good thing with the whole Go Green fad going on, but because I have lived my life, not "going, green" so to speak, its been hard and confusing. However, I strive to open my eyes to it. The fact that non-organic clothing dosent necessaily harm us directly when we wear it puts me at ease a bit, but to now find out that the meathods used to create such nice fabrics can harm the earth, I am slightly appalled.

Why is it, that humanity has just started to realize this? Because the ozone layer is now endangering us? Because we could suffer from a second Ice Age and we only now have the technology to do something about it? These are not excuses!!!! Human error and ignorance has gone too far and I am disgusted that now they suddenly care. Yet at the same time, I am happy that new innovations are helping our earth. new ways to make cotton and other fabrics without pesticides is helping, but not necessarily drastically. More needs to be done than just cotton industries.

Synthetic fibers, though amazingly cheep and great, are not so "awesome" in the sense that they are also a cause. the chemicals and processes used to make them are toxic. Why? Why is it that there seem to be no other ways of making those same synthetic fibers? Too many textile industries and the newest brand looks depend on these fabrics and we cannot do without them. It is ny hopes that these fibers can be made in a more enviornmentally safe way, and that they are researching this.
