Environmental Footprints: Clothing and Accessories Part 2

So just today when I was flipping through my roommate's Victoria Secret swim catalog I found an idea for a green approach to the much anticipated Spring Break. Aaron Chang, a legendary surfer, has started an apparel line that includes swim wear. This swim wear is made from organic cotton and recycled materials. What is even cooler about these swim suits is that they are reversible, so it is like buying two different swim suits. If you're going to the beach soon, check these out. It is getting two suits for the price of one and helping the environment in the meantime. To check out Aaron Chang's site, go to www.aaronchang.com. To purchase his suits in Victoria's Secret's catalog, go to www.victoriasecret.com and search designers. Now that I've got the suit, all I need is the body to go with it.

And don't worry guys, I am not leaving you out of this. Affordable and green is not an oxymoron. Levi's released a line of organic cotton jeans in Spring 2006. They are just one of the companies that has jumped on the movement. The GAP has also started carrying organic cotton t-shirts for guys in three different styles; crew neck, v-neck, and tank.

If you are interested in buying organic clothes and helping the environment while doing so, check out www.organicconsumers.org. They have a really nice website, dedicated to green clothes.

If you want to help out but don't want to sacrifice fashion, visit www.greengirlsguide.com. It's the Vogue of sustainable shopping.
