Can You Afford to Go Green?
Email Page
Have you heard about the latest fashion? It's green fashion; clothes made without using pesticides, chemicals and dyes. They are good for the planet, but they may not be so good for your budget. If you think this is a fad, think again. We all need to do our part to help preserve our world by decreasing pollution and reducing our waste. More and more, you will see clothes made with bamboo, soy, and hemp; however, some of these clothes may be out of reach, costing over $200 for a pair of jeans. But don’t fret, you can still do your part by purchasing organic make-up or accessories, as well as raw cotton T-shirts ($20).Have any of you gone green in your fashion?

Going green is becoming a big trend in 2008. You know it's true if designers are coming out with green fashion. I just recently went green and I love the warm feeling I get just from knowing that I do things for a good cause. In fact, everyone should get that warm feeling because I'm sure contributes to being green in some kind of way, whether they know it or not.
Speaking of warm, one of the biggest changes I have made so far was switching to bioheat. It's great because it's made with biodegradable products like soybean oil! Cool huh? I always get the strangest reactions when people find out I heat my house with organic materials and heating oil.
If I didn't work for NORA I would have never heard about it. I've been encouraged to do more research, and got a lot of tips from:
