We need to take action and be well versed in the ethics of sustainable clothing, and not take any green-washing lightly! I recently visited an eco-boutique (www.embodies.com) and was fortunate enough to be surrounded by clothing the owner had researched very well. It is her goal to only sell clothing that completely follows her practice as a green business owner. (even how she redecorated her new store was very green) So, it is up to the consumers to educate themselves!!!

Your recent story on how the "Organic Mania Spreads To Clothing" begs more questions than it answers. Specifically, in a few of words, is it really organic? Why not interview me for a story on the truth behind organic certification? The farmers are, for the most part, honest. But the way they're certified means dishonest farmers can play along as well.
