    If we go for natural fabric as our mission,we achieve many things without being aware of it. The vast farm lands which are being used for cotton farming will not be using the harmful fertilizers which were hitherto progressively damaging the eco system.

    There are obvious and glaring examples through out the world,one of them is the dead zones of Gulf of Mexico. This is created by the continuous use of harmful chemicals containing in the heavy fertilizers,which is constantly pouring to the rivers and is carried down stream. This not only damages the eco balancing of the earth but also a constant threat to the endangered species,notable among them is the bald eagle.

    When we decide about the use of natural fabric,we are duty bound to understand whether the people involved in the manufacturing are properly covered under the Fair Trade Regulations or not. These regulations are to give certain amount of assurances with legal and ethical provisions. This simply means whether they are remunerated properly under healthy atmosphere

    In fact,we can easily assume that it is the only way to maintain the sustainable growth of our earth. May be there is a negative side in the Fair Trade Regulations,i.e. the cost of production of these products will be increased. The reason being that the products supported with chemical fertilizers give a faster growth and those with natural ingredients can only give a steady growth which is more sustainable

    In the making of organic clothing,the use of the harmful pesticides and synthetic fertilizers are avoided,and these clothing is less likely to irritate the skin. The irritation is mainly due to the adding of an addictive chemical to make the fabric a wrinkle free look. The chemical is Formaldehyde,a common bonder used in the fabric to give the wrinkle free look which has been proved to be causing allergic reactions,causes deformity to infants and even leading to cancer.

    Though the level of Formaldehyde is acceptable as it appears for majority of the people,it does have drastic effect for those who are prone to allergic attack. This chemical has already been banned in some of the countries.

    The chemical formaldehyde is a necessary evil for the upkeep of the cloths. Without this so far it has been proved that the maintenance of the cloths are indeed difficult. We are getting improvement on this side too,as we are getting the organic substances which are tailor made for the upkeep of the organic clothing.

    We have now organic detergents which give durability and wrinkle free look for the fabric. They are bio degradable substances which give no permanent impact on the eco systems.
