Need Of Healthy Environment Sustainability

No one can deny the fact that we are to be free from unhealthy atmosphere and products. We can start with something we use on daily basis namely, the clothes we wear. The organic cotton fabrics are free from the harmful chemicals which are being used for years. One of the well known chemical products for the wrinkle free look of the fabric is the chemical known as formaldehyde.

The chemical product formaldehyde has a bonding property for the cotton which keeps the fabric wrinkle free. This treatment with the formaldehyde is for the making the upkeep and maintenance of the cotton cloths easier.

By using the formaldehyde treated cloths we are keeping close to our chest a cancer causing material. Besides this the non organic cotton passes through several other chemical processes which are indeed damaging for the environment. The treatment starts from the planting stage of the cotton plants. The variety of chemicals pumped into the cotton farms which protect the cotton plants also end up being washed down the stream causing damages all along the environment around. These chemicals are not bio degradable.

The washing of these chemicals with proper treatment results in them being washed down to rivers and finally the ocean. Their continuous accumulation will create dead zones in the ocean; a dead zone by definition is an area without oxygen. This dead zone keeps on increasing as more and more damaging chemicals accumulates. An example is already present in Gulf of Mexico. By making a stand on purchasing only the organic cotton we can send a strong signal to the big manufacturers that they have to reorient their thinking on environment.

The main problem for not advancing the thinking of organic clothing is the lack of awareness amongst masses. There has to be a collection people coming together to increase awareness for organic cotton usage. Once a momentum is caught in the full swing, they will demand high quality organic cotton and the demand for the chemically treated cotton will go down. With this demand only the non organic producers will change their attitude for a healthier environment.

When you are fully using the organic cotton you have to make sure that you are using natural cleaning products with the cotton clothing. The organic clothing and non organic detergents and soaps do not go hand in hand. The organic fabrics have a tendency to hold on to the chemicals in their thread for long. This is a negative impact for you and also for the environment. The using of natural and organic cleaning materials is the only answer for this.

As you have started the style and trend of organic clothing, the next step is to adopt the organic foods and the use of natural cleaning products against the strong chemical cleaning materials. This is another step to enter into a truly green living style.

Adopting organic food will not have any additional improvement of health from other food alternatives. But the most important aspect is that you are not taking any harmful chemicals and accumulating and dumping them in turn to the environment.

Having a life of responsibility towards the environment helps in making the earth a better place for the future generations too. Let us play our role in this regard.
