Downside Of Outside: Getting Ready For Summer

When it comes to protecting the environment‚ your choices matter. If you're reading this‚ you probably already realize that many decisions you make in your everyday life can make a positive difference for the planet. Maybe you've decided to buy local organic produce‚ ride your bike to work‚ or donate to protect local wetlands. Or maybe you're just starting to think "green" and want to explore your eco-friendly options.

Good for you! But environmentally responsible choices are not just about organic foods and carbon footprints. They can be as simple as the eco-friendly shirt on your back. More and more clothing manufacturers now offer environmentally responsible clothing and products for an array of activities.

The term "eco-conscious" is defined as "showing concern for the environment." So it follows that in order for a product to be eco-conscious‚ it should be made using eco-friendly materials and processes that mitigate our impact on the planet. Luckily‚ there are plenty of non-threatening natural fibers and green fabrics used to make superior eco products‚ from organic clothing and shoes to eco-conscious outdoor gear. Organic cotton clothing is gaining in popularity‚ as are green products made of hemp‚ bamboo‚ TENCEL®‚ and even recycled polyester.
