If you want one year of prosperity, plant corn.
If you want ten years of prosperity, plant trees.
If you want one hundred years of prosperity, educate people.
~ Chinese proverb

It’s so uplifting to see the masses becoming more and more aware of the climate issue that’s plaguing our world today. The sure-fire sign that the message is getting through is the fact that its effects are very quickly trickling down to businesses and how they now choose to operate.

Organic products have always seemed a tad on the expensive side for me. Financial circumstances have always impeded my ability to purchase more of them but I can see that it’s getting easier and easier. Organic fabrics were never really that readily available but when major retail chains like Cotton Ginny decide to switch to Eco-Ganic lines, suddenly affordability is no longer so much of a concern.

I bought my first organic CG hoodie when I attended EPIC: The Sustainable Living Expo back in April and it was then that I was also introduced to a really interesting new sustainable material that they were using in some of their items: Milk! I got a scarf that was made of 80% organic cotton and 30% protein from a milk source. Bizarre but true!

Now you can add organic denim to your list of must-have items. The feel and look of organic denim is indiscernible from your average denim. Now that it’s just as (or more so in this case) affordable, why would you opt to buy the more environmental harmful variety? What’s the difference you ask? How is this new material more environmentally friendly? Well, essentially, the cotton comes from the same plant. The important different lies in how that plant is maintained. With organic cotton, the plants thrive without the presence of any pesticides or other environmentally damaging products and methods. That’s why it’s important to support this type of product. Demand will inevitably lead to a larger supply, which in turn lowers cost so you gotta switch! Both the certified organic jean and jacket from CG will retail from $55 and $60 (plus).
