So great that organic, natural clothing options are becoming more accessible to all!!! Why is this important? Well for every conventionally manufactured tee-shirt, six ounces of toxic pesticides, herbicides and synthetic fertilizers find their way into the water we drink, the air we breathe and the food we eat! Until now, most organic clothing was at least double the cost of conventional clothing. Well, sounds like that will not be the case anymore!

Wal-Mart Wal-Mart and Kmart are adding full lines of organic jeans made by Washington-based Greensource to their private label clothing lines.

Greensource (sounds like a great company!) provides T-shirts, jeans and other apparel made from a variety of greener sources, including organic cotton, bamboo and recycled polyester.

All five of the company’s manufacturing facilities have been certified to the voluntary Global Organic Textile Standard. Wal-Mart’s Faded Glory label and Kmart’s Route 66 brand will each offer men’s, women’s and children’s jeans made with organic cotton.

How cool is this? Every Greensource-made garment also comes with a tracking number, and consumers can plug those numbers in at Greensource’s website to see the growing field, spinning mill and factory that piece of clothing came from. I would love to do something like this with our cosmetic ingredients!
