If you would like to ‘live green’ with your clothing choices as well then you would want to choose from the right fabric types. The top two fabrics which are derived from plant fiber are cotton and linen. Cotton is the number one choice for environmentally friendly fabrics. According to Cotton Incorporated, cotton fiber is over 40% carbon, thus actually reducing the amount of carbon in the atmosphere. Another ‘green’ fabric choice would be a fabric from a protein fiber like silk or wool. The other fabric choices on the market are of man made materials. Acrylic, nylon, polyester, rayon, acetate and blends are all made from various man made fibers. If you are not so set on going ‘green’ but, would like to help our economy in some way then I would stay away from acrylic made from natural gas and petroleum; polyester which is produced from petroleum products, coal, air & water; nylon made from petroleum.
