Living Green doesn’t mean you have to actually wear green, but the idea behind the thought is still the same.  The clothes that you choose go a long way towards helping define your efforts to environmental responsibility.  If you cannot find a Green Clothes retailer in your area, you can try to choose clothes made from natural fibers and produced as locally as possible. 

Green Clothing Choices

When shopping for clothes, pick out ones you can run through a cold water wash cycle.  During warmer months, air-dry your clothes on clotheslines instead of relying on the dryer.  As for the clothes you already have, consider replacing or repurposing the ones that require warm washes first, rather than the cold-wash friendly ones. Also, try to avoid or at least limit, the number of outfits that need dry cleaning.

Why such a focus on cleaning?  Because it takes a lot of resources to wash the clothes you wear.  Apart from the water itself, there’s the energy needed to power the washing machine and dryer, even more if you’re using a hot-water wash that will take up still more electricity.   These are resources generated in most cases by fossil fuels, and easing our dependence on these is an important part of living sustainably.

Beyond the physical wash, there are choices to make about the cleaning products you use. Green Laundry Detergent is the perfect choice. Finding a proven, effective green cleaning product line for your home is easy if you choose a superior brand with a proven product, and then stick with that brand for all of your household cleaning needs.
