Using Your Wardrobe To Help The Environment

By: Victor Epand

This day and age everyone is concerned about the environment. It all started years ago when scientists discovered that the ozone layer developed a hole from all of the chemicals and emissions that we create. Many people now recycle and reuse paper and plastic in an effort to have a "greener" earth. There is much more that we can do to help preserve the earth, and it involves our wardrobe. That is correct, we can use our clothing to help the environment.

The first thing that you can do to help your environment is hang dry your clothes. Yes, I know, it takes time and is less convenient than just throwing everything in the dryer. The energy that dryers take is enormous, and reducing the use of electrical dryers can truly help the environment. Even if you use the dryer less often, you are helping the environment. Give it a try. Perhaps it isn't as hard as it seems.

Another step you can take to go green with your wardrobe is recycle your clothes. Don't throw them away! There are plenty of places where old clothing can be donated to other people who are less fortunate. Not only does it help the environment, but it is a respectable act of charity. You are helping others who need clothes, and you are helping the environment at the same time. If the clothing is in poor condition, use it as rags for cleaning around the house. You can also sew old pieces of clothing together to make a blanket.

If the clothing that you no longer want or fit is in good condition, you can sell your used clothing. Other people will probably appreciate the discounted price of your clothing, especially if it has been kept well. You can also help the environment by purchasing used clothing. If you buy used clothing, you can save a great deal of money and help the environment at the same time.

Buy organic clothing. Yes, there is such a thing as organic clothing. Organic cotton is a popular material for "greener" clothing. The organic cotton is grown without the use of harmful pesticides and other chemicals. It is then used to make organic shirts, pants, underwear, and other clothing items that people wear everyday. There are several websites that sell organic cotton clothes. It is important to remember, however, that cotton is a heavier material, and it takes longer to dry when wet. If you do purchase organic cotton clothing, make sure not to overuse the dryer, or the point of getting the organic clothes is almost cancelled out.

Did you ever think that being more careful about the clothes on your back would matter to the environment? Well, now you know. It is up to you to do your part and help the environment with your clothes. Please consider these tips, and put at least some of them into practice. You will feel better about yourself, and the earth will thank you.
