GO GREEN! GO ORGANIC!

“The mind was a blank space as an exhausted and fatigued body tried, barely, to crawl across the barren land. The sun scorched relentlessly on the naked body, draining out even the slightest ounce of grit. Slowly the walls started closing in, the sight of the desolate land also vanished. The only sensation was of the heavy drags of air which felt like infinite stabs of dagger to the parched throat. Now in no time the end would come greeting, it was only a matter of few more moments. Ah! Pang of hunger in the eleventh hour! Wasn’t it hunger from where it had all started?”

Man’s hunger to commercialize every infinitesimal thing in sight, man’s hunger to industrialize without a second thought, man’s hunger to urbanize the impossible! Man’s hunger to control and rule with voracity. This insatiable appetite of man is steadily binging away on the environment, well-being and everything worthy. And it won’t be long before severe repercussions will have to be faced.

Killing animals, disrupting the ecological processes and going anti-nature to produce something that hugs the body throughout our lives; CLOTHES! In this instant race called life we have overlooked the importance of clothing, covering it with a veil of superficiality and outlandishness. The kind of clothes one wears has a major impact on physical and mental health and well-being; which seems to be a forgotten fact.

Ask your neck wrapped in a fancy synthetic scarf or those legs cramped in the skinny chinos about how they feel in this 45° Delhi heat. If they could, they would only lament. Fabrics, weather conditions and skin type together decide the apt clothing for a person.  The body functions are altered critically when one wears synthetic clothes which are a rage these days. So it’s not only the environment they risk but also your health.

What is the solution? Go Organic! Go Green!

organic_logo

This is not a special idea, organic farming was the way it was ALWAYS done except for a last few decades where man’s greed and commercial interests altered nature’s ways. So from then to now, we have come FULL CIRCLE – back to basic organic clothes that let the body breathe.

Conventional fibers and synthetic fibers pose health risks to people working on them and also to those wearing them. Tests on conventional clothing have revealed traces of pesticides, insecticides, fire retardants, formaldehyde and toxic dyestuffs. These residues can be inhaled or absorbed through the skin.  These chemical treatments may lead to weak immune systems, allergies ranging from skin to respiratory, reproductive disorders, birth defects etc.

Keeping these hazards in minds many brands have taken the initiative of turning ‘Green’. Indian August has taken the green step by collaborating with brands and designers who produce ‘green’ clothes such as those made of organic linen, cotton, ahimsa silk etc.

Basically harmful chemicals are restricted and prohibited in organic textile production and processing hence, final products don’t contain allergenic, carcinogenic or toxic chemical residues. Organic fibers are grown without the use of harmful pesticides or genetically modified organisms so as to promote a healthier environment and better clothing experience.

People are slowly realizing the benefits of organic clothing, but a mass realization needs to strike in order to bring about the required revolution.

“Under the shade of lush green trees whose branches swayed to the rhythmic breeze, the body felt an immense sense of peace and tranquility. Sipping away nature’s fresh nectar, the mind wandered serenely. There was only GREED TO GO GREEN.”
