About us
Are your clothes “green”? For many of the things we buy, like paper products and cars, we know what’s green and what’s not. That knowledge helps us make eco-friendly choices. Our goal at Eco Stitch is to help you do the same with your clothing. Unless you’re wearing that wool sweater your grandmother knitted, you might not know what your clothes are made of. The names of the materials are written on the labels, but have you ever looked at them? Most people are interested in how fashionable the clothes are, not whether they’re cotton or polyester . Even if you know what materials you’re wearing, do you know how eco-friendly they are? Cotton is taken from plants, and because it’s natural , many people think it is more environmentally friendly than polyester, which is artificial . However, a lot of chemicals are used by most cotton farmers, and large amounts of water are needed, too. Meanwhile, polyester is often made from recycled plastic bottles. It’s also warmer and lighter than cotton, so less material is needed! We’re here to help you make the best choices for you. LEARN MORE. GLOSSARY
