Final Blog
Starting this project of keeping a blog page, honestly seemed horrifying to me at first. I’ve never been good with computers, or just hashing out ideas that I have on a page where everyone could read it. I’m more of a keep to myself kind of person, and that’s why a majority of my blogs aren’t even really personalized. I hope that I did manage to convey a sort of new outlook to people who really aren’t into the whole organic scene. And yeah, I get that it’s supposedly the “cool” thing to do now, and a few readers didn’t seem to take to that jumping on the bandwagon of going green all that well. But after doing research, and getting more into my topic and the project at hand, it was staggering to see the results of just how harmful normal objects in any household are. It’s made me more conscious of what’s going on in the world, and if any of that stuck with any readers, then I’d have to say I’m pretty satisfied with the blogging as whole.
Hangers
Most posts I have put up have been all about going green clothing, but I realized none of them have touched on taking care of them. A lot of clothes have the dry clean only label, and after delving further into the dry cleaning world, I came across some staggering statistics. Dry cleaning is just as harmful to society as cotton farms, and as a result, “green” dry cleaning companies are being formed, but have yet to mark their mark on society like green clothing has. There was one company in particular that made an impact on me when I read the article and that was “Hangers Cleaners”.
“Hangers Cleaners” is the newest green dry cleaners. They use a biodegradable soap dissolved in liquefied carbon dioxide. It’s completely harmless though, and is even safe enough that it is used to decaffeinate coffee and make soft drinks fizz. Hangers is also a high profile model of “green chemistry”. “Green chemistry” is the unofficial name government officials gave to various programs whose goal is to wean society off of noxious chemicals, which started up in the early 1990’s.
In 1997, Hangers technology won the Environmental Protection Agency’s Green Chemistry Challenge Award, but unfortunately that was still not enough to take the Hangers franchise to the next level. The projected expansion was supposed to be in 40 more areas, yet has fulfilled a significantly less amount, and only about a handful of stores has opened.
Joseph M. DeSimone is a professor of chemistry and chemical engineering at the University of North Carolina and North Carolina State and is the main man behind the “Hangers” operation. He is one of the many researchers investigating compressed or liquefied carbon dioxide as a substitute for more hazardous chemicals. Along with two former students, DeSimone formed Micell as alternative use to these chemicals. One such chemical it can replace is perchloroethylene, which is the most harmful chemical used in dry cleaning, also known as perc.
Perc can cause cancer and other ailments for cleaning workers and even residents of nearby buildings. Perc vapors and discharges also contaminate ground water. It also earned a reputation as a versatile and powerful degreaser during World War Two and replaced the petroleum-based solvents that had been fire hazards in the 1950’s. By the 1990’s, dry cleaners were the main leading source of this pollution.
Regrettably, dry cleaners have managed to look past this point, and still use perc systems, mainly because it is more cost efficient. Micell’s equipment is not only a 10-ton rectangle of pipes, pumps, etc, and can not fit in many dry cleaners quarters, but it also costs 150,000 dollars a unit. Perc systems, that handle similar sized loads, cost only 60,000 dollars per unit. Add to that, the state the economy is in now, and that makes many dry cleaners averse to investing in a new more expensive product.
Since the technology is there to relinquish the hold perc has over many dry cleaners, the next step in the right direction is marketing. Sam Brickle, who is a 62 year old Rhode Island industrialist bought the rights from Micell to expand the Hangers concept in New England, and is working a new marketing strategy. His efforts, as well though, have not been up to par with his expectations. In recent months, three Hanger shops have opened in New England, and hopes of soon totaling to 25 shops within a 20 mile radius. If this revolution could take off the ground the contamination perc is leaving behind not only on people, but also on our earth, could be diminished completely.

A few Small Tips to Being "green"
As a culture we consume ourselves with what the "new" look is and how we can represent ourselves through our clothing. When we combine our clothing with sustainability for our environment we are able to look good and help our environment at the same time.
Through the new textiles and different approaches to making our garments, we are able to not only support our fashion desires but also be fashionable at the same time. Its not only about how we grow our fibers and manufacture them, but how we sell them and discard them. We concern ourselves with our trash and consumption as a nation and where we leave them, so why not care about what happens to what we wear on a daily basis? Our clothes… Why discard what we don’t wear anymore? Use them, whether its second hand, pass down, our use it for your own desire. Why not turn a rag into a new kitchen towel?
Although fashion in constantly changing, and everyone wants to be up to date, this adds to the amount of waste we already have so much of. By tossing aside all garments as soon as they are no longer dubbed “fashionable”, our landfills are being overloaded even more. This is contributing to methane, which is a climate changing accelerator. Every little bit we can do to not add to our landfills is appreciated.
If your not a fan of using your old t-shirts as a wash rag don’t be ashamed, we cant all be completely self sufficient. There are ways that we can all feel green, by buying the right clothing and washing our clothes the right way. After looking at a study from Cambridge University, sixty percent of the greenhouse gases generated from the lifetime of one tee shirt, generally come from the many washes one tee shirt undertakes. The average washing of one tee shirt is around 25 washes, which actually exceeds the carbon emissions it entails to fabricate one shirt. To help this unfortunate event, try to use the cold rinse cycle as much as possible. This reduces the electric sucking hot temperatures many washing machines require. Also, if possible, try to by-step the dryer, and use a line-drying alternative. This will help to reduce the problems washers and dryers create.
Seek out sustainable fabrics, we have them! Buying polyester and nylon takes a lot more energy to make then it does to make our natural fabrics. Think hemp and organic cotton when your shopping. Believe it our not, it actually feels better. Just in the same way as eating organic foods can reduce many toxins that would otherwise get in our body, and ultimately makes you healthier, organic fibers can feel just as good on your body. If something is made of organic fibers, it doesn’t necessarily mean its going to be an itchy and uncomfortable. This is a common misconception people have about “green” fashion.
Fashion isn’t only about clothing though, and as every girl knows, accessories can make an outfit. On Planetgreen.com, there is a great article listing the ten top tips on how to find “green” accessories. There is the never failing vintage option, and is usually somewhat more on the cheaper side, since items are already used. Jewelry made out of recycled materials is a way of being vintage with a new twist. Many jewelers are using recycled metals, one of which is a form of silver made from photographic film. Lab grown or repurposed gems are much more eco-friendly to buy, since the mining process of gems and metals ravages our environment.
There is also the mention of the website Bag, Borrow or Steal, which for a monthly membership fee, you can sign up to receive designer bags to use for an allotment of time, and then ship back. This is a way to not only conserve materials used to create every new handbag, but is also a much more inexpensive way to rock the hottest designer labels.
With so many options at our fingertips to help out our environment, why would anyone want to take a different approach? Some of the smallest things we can do, will be conducive to the livelihood of our earth long after we are gone. Trying to make small, positive changes day to day, something as simple as using a washable plastic mug, instead of a water bottle, helps.

New Treasures
All around us, the world is showing visible signs of damage, due to activities humans are partaking in. Many people, though, are realizing that it is a lot easier than they had thought, to reduce their carbon foot print on earth. By exchanging small items in your lifestyle, with organic items, is a step in the right direction. There are household items you can do this with, but my personal favorite is your wardrobe and the items it holds.
Since everyone has a different personality, everyone has a different sense of style with fashion. The one element that can be agreed upon by every person, is that using organic fabric will help future generations. By reducing the pesticides used for cotton fields that are leaked into the air, can alone have a severe impact. In a article written back in 2004, about organic cotton clothing sales, and the increase in the U.S., Beth Wilson wrote a direct quote from Rebecca Calahan Klein, president of Organic Exchange, stating, “From an environmental standpoint, every pound of organic cotton means about one-third less pound of pesticides in the U.S.,”.
To me, that’s a staggering amount. If everyone would buy organic cotton, it would reap so many benefits. Yet, unfortunately, most people aren’t looking if something is organic or not, they’re looking to see if they like the style. And since everyone has a style, it’s hard to hit that one home every time. Yet, back in 2004, Wilson also stated in her same article, that Nike was the leading retailer use of organic cotton. Since Nike is such a huge company, this helped push forward the whole new era of organic cotton, showing that not only is a beneficial for the environment, but can come in new cutting edge styles, and doesn’t have to be uncomfortable.
Green clothing is even venturing into children’s fashions. There are a few websites I have come across, that cater to children’s clothing, and have affordable green clothing options available. Nimli.com has a great assortment of clothing for children, both boys and girls. Shirts range from the twenty’s to thirty’s. They also have pants, jackets, shoes and handbags and dresses for young girls. If you’re looking for a baby shower gift, they also have onesies for newborns that borderline the same price range.
Nimli.com doesn’t only cater to children though. They have a wide variety of clothing, for all ages, men and women alike. There are plenty sexy, youthful dresses for young modern women and even undergarments to wear beneath what you buy. This website seemed to have a bit of everything for anyone. There’s also beauty care and even home décor for sale.
Other ways of going “green” when you live on a tight budget, include the reuse of old clothing. Taking a skirt and remaking it into a shawl, or cute handbag, is just as conducive to helping with our environment as buying new organic clothes. I found a great website that had a few tips on how to turn old treasures into new treasures. Planetgreen.discovery.com, under the fashion and beauty section, had 8 different ways of rescuing what was once an old piece of worn out, or out of style clothing and making it hip again.
My favorite one was the 5-step way to turn your once loved maxi dress into a new flirty mini-dress. Even though it’s starting to get a little chilly now, it’s still Florida, and there’s always going to be days in the winter when you would kill for a comfy dress to run around in during the day so as to not sweat like a maniac. The tips are also given from a Project Runway alum, Diana Eng from a website, craftzine.com, which specializes in crafts (Hence the name).
Another great tip was how to turn left over scraps of material into a great new fabric necklace. Then you have a new accessory for an old t-shirt, or tank, which can change the whole attitude of what was once a drab ensemble.
If you aren’t very handy with the scissors, or sewing machine, there is always thrift stores where if you sift through them a bit, could possibly turn up some treasures. Personally, I wish I could do all the projects listed above to better my wardrobe, but I am not as good as using my sewing machine as I would like. So this tip was probably the best one for me to use on reducing my carbon footprint on our earth.

Bamboo is the new Cotton
Who knew that panda bear’s favorite food would wind up being the core center of a new fashion? A semi-new all organic clothesline, Panda Snack, was founded in the summer of 2005, by Deborah Bovia and Dearrick Knupp. Their mission is, “to create a lifestyle brand using bamboo fiber, to make innovative cool products and mix it with our own design philosophy,” a direct quote from the ‘About Us’ section on their website, http://pandasnack.com/.
The choice of using bamboo, is not only due to the fact that it is renewable and sustainable, but also doesn’t require any pesticides or herbicides to grow. Panda Snack bamboo comes from farmed bamboo, instead of forests. On top of this new clothesline creating their own organic clothing, they only team up with manufacturing partners who show the same enthusiasm for the environment.
Their clothesline they have constructed is a knit collection for both men and women in a classic sense, with an added twist, and special attention to detail. Recently Gliving.com posted an article about Panda Snack along with some pictures of their line, which is what sparked my interest. I decided to check out their website myself, to form my own opinion on the new bamboo clothes. The clothes definitely have a sleek, classic look, even borderline preppy on some styles.
The majority of the Fall ‘08 collection was composed of v-necks, t-shirts or polo style shirts. This disheartened me, since this is not the kind of style I would normally wear, or be a fan of. Yet, due to the fact that it does seem cutting edge, just with the material alone, I definitely condone those who do rock this new fetish.
Fashion isn’t the only place being affected by bamboo either. Stores and websites all around are starting to join in on the new organic breakthrough. Bed, Bath and Beyond sell 100% bamboo sheets. West Elm, a furniture and accessory store, sells bamboo throws, blankets, and serving bowls and trays for the kitchen. It seems like this may be a new favorite trend!

Actual Problem, or Trivial BS?
Going Green has become this whole new trendy thing that it seems people are following for no apparent reason, other than they think it is “hip”, or “cool”. I mean, who really cares what’s going on with our planet. We’re not going to be here to see the repercussions of our actions we take right now. Recently I stumbled across another blogger, who is interested in going green in fashion and beauty. One article Ms. Jessorz wrote stated that a premiere web marketer of Eco-friendly clothing, called Azalea Online quoted “High-yield cotton farming, worldwide, uses about $2.6 billion worth of pesticides a year. 35% of that is used in the U.S. It’s harmful to humans and wildlife, contaminating water supplies and killing native species."
Is this really going to convince anyone to change their wardrobe? Only 35% of these pesticides are used in the United States. Break that down into individual states, and that’s under 1%. So Florida alone, where we live, is barely affected. Why should we care about the other 65% being used throughout the world. We have a big enough planet where none of this will come back to bite us in the ass.
Instead of spending extra money on these “organic” cotton clothes, in an attempt to help save our planet, I would rather save my money, and just buy whatever is cheapest. We’re not going to be suffering from what these cotton farms produce until long after I’m dead.

Choose Life
One of my favorite Go Green websites, Gliving.com, recently had a couple of articles dedicated to the renown fashion designer Katharine E Hamnett, written by Sarah Backhouse. Her new designs that are rocking the fashion industry are reminiscent of some of her first fashions she created in the 80’s for the band Wham! The slogan used back then, “Choose Life”, was such a huge success, still to this day, that she decided to re-launch the shirts. In addition to the “Choose Life” slogan, she has added new slogans to the line.
Sarah Backhouse delves into the meaning behind “Choose Life”, and how this slogan came about, making this fashion statement so unique. Launched first back in 1983, the statement was inspired by Buddhism, and was meant to encourage choosing life over war and extinction and so forth during a turbulent time in Europe. It wasn’t until later that it was adopted by the anti-abortion lobby.
Since the world is now going through turbulent times again, between the war in Iraq, and global warming, Katherine thought the timing perfect to bring on new slogans making it cool to wear your beliefs on your fashion, while being green, since all the new t-shirts are organic. Some of the new slogans consist of, “Clean Up or Die”, “Education not Missiles”, “Save the Rainforests”, “No War”, “Leaders Suck”, “Worldwide Nuclear Ban Now”, and “Bring Back God”.
While the statements being made are exceptional, and topics well worth taking a stand on, I still have never been able to bring myself to wear clothing with just words on it. Although, there is the slogan, “Don’t knock it until you try it”, so who knows?
