They custom-make jeans for you - yes, they're more expensive ($140) than Levis, but they're not more expensive than organic jeans, and they're CUSTOM MADE! They are made from cotton from the Pakistan Sustainable Cotton Initiative using fair labor practices with people making more than the local living wage. They also receive health benefits. This company is amazing, and I can't wait to get my first pair of jeans from them! Here's information about them: http://www.ujeans.com/about-efs.html.

The highly publicized use of organic cotton is one thing and dyeing it with synthetic and toxic chemical dyes is another...and then making the fabric under powerlooms is yet another which is responsible for loss and destruction to our environment. We overlook the cruel consequences of our very own deeds!! Ignorance is bliss?? Just that we cant lose more time anymore!! So guys my plea to you is to not fall for what they say on the surface! Dig a little deeper and u ll know for sure what the reality is and that will be truly protecting our environment at our own initiative rather that being told what to believe!! Well I must share this with u guys...... This Is For Real! Recently I came across this fascinating new collection, the first of its kind!! by GoIndigo Jeans made in India ... Not only the end product matters here but the Processes of growing cotton and weaving cloth, of extracting dyes, producing colour and dyeing the cloth are each given the excellence and traditional touch to each pair of jeans!! The Jeans is made from pure organic cotton natural indigo dyed hand woven fabric. I made a visit to that place and witnessed the traditional processes, the work ethics and the environment which was a true delight for me..., the workers looked happy too.. a rare view, in context with all the crisis that the textile industry suffers from today! Here’s the link http://www.goindigojeans.com Take a look!! And have a nice day! now a days most of the denim company’s are high on the “ECO” stamp…. everyone claims to be using organic cotton now,…is quite amusing to me and at the same time frustrating because many of us buy that shit not realizing the shallowness of their concept…

Brining common sense ideas to the table, such as hanging your clothes out to dry, and unplugging appliances is a great start (and opens the door for further discussion) No matter what someones beliefs maybe on global warming and energy consumption there is just no argument about common sense practices. Not only are the above examples a great way for people to form eco-friendly habits they also save you money!!! These are door opener conversations, they don't cloud the problems by giving energy to the spin machine. I applaud Daryl Hannah for her knowledge and thank her for her efforts.

I hope so, but I really doubt it. people are super-stubborn and are conditioned not to care about the rest of the world. how else could American television become so popular? anyway, I'd rather focus on how to make hannah's vision more common, but I don't even think that universities take that seriously. the empire will persist... nice design work on the website, ecorazzi.

Organic cotton is not the only eco-friendly fiber available. Nor is it only a component of clothing. Towels and sheets of bamboo are available and a delight to use. Take a look at ShirtsofBamboo.com for bamboo clothing that is ecologically sound, produced in the U.S. using fabric created from a sustainable source. Bamboo is lightweight, antibacterial, and wicks moisture away from the body. The 100% bamboo garments dry extremely rapidly on the line, cutting laundry time nearly in half. I speak from personal experience. I applaud Ms. Hannah for bringing this information to the masses.
