Element EcoWear: Intro to Earth's Favorite Clothing

Well, I'm still new to this world of blogging... I've read and commented to many, but never made my own before! Soon, I hope to add some interesting and useful information about living in tandem with planet earth. But right now, I'll start with an introduction to my new earth-friendly web store, www.ElementEcoWear.com. If anyone has thoughts on this, the website, or eco-clothing in general, please comment!

Highlights are that it's a beautiful website with a wide range of organic cotton, bamboo, soy, and hemp apparel. Organic cotton and bamboo t-shirts, hoodies, & athletic pants can also be customized with more than 300 high-quality modern, vintage, and retro graphics. And of course (!), all suppliers are fair-trade and eco-friendly, and a percent of all sales are donated to environmental organizations.

Here are the details from a press release:

Element EcoWear's recently launched website offers a completely new eco-shopping experience for the public. The website is stunning, the clothing is ultra-comfortable and earth friendly, and the company donates a percent of every sale to charities, without charging the abnormally high prices that sometimes come with eco-clothing.

Element EcoWear is currently the only company to offer a range of 'green' t-shirts, hoodies, and athletic pants which can be customized with more than 300 high-quality vintage, retro, and modern graphics. A separate apparel line offers a selection of men's and women's shirts, jeans, sweaters, blouses, dresses, skirts, and more. Element EcoWear carries only high-quality, eco-conscious fabrics such as organic cotton, bamboo, soy, and hemp, in many classic and stylish designs.

Not sure why you should buy organic cotton? Wondering how bamboo and soy fibers are made into clothing? Curious to know what really makes these garments better than standard cotton and other fabrics? The answers might surprise you--and the feeling of the fabrics might surprise you even more. Bamboo and soy clothing is so luxuriously soft that it's often compared to cashmere. Bamboo fabrics also offer natural anti-bacterial properties, and both bamboo and soy are moisture-wicking and as durable as cotton. Add that to both plants' easy, renewable, and sustainable growth, and you'll wonder why you don't have more in your wardrobe already. For anyone still fond of cotton, Element EcoWear also offers organic and 'Earth Positive' cotton--a dramatic improvement over the standard cotton which is, globally, one of the most water and pesticide intensive crops farmed today.

For more information on cotton farming and the benefits of bamboo, soy, organic cotton, and hemp, visit the Element EcoWear website--where you may find yourself both informed and inspired. Every page of the website integrates striking art and photographs of the planet and its people. As Element EcoWear's founder, Dallas Fairbanks, explains, "The website is made to celebrate the world that we're trying to preserve--both the earth itself, and the diverse and unique spirit of humanity. Every individual has so much power... and in the U.S. there's a great deal of influence through purchases. Our products are not only great for the consumer, they're also great for the planet! Buying 'green' is an easy and beneficial way to bring about a world of change. Hopefully the website will remind people of this--and also make shopping more enjoyable!"

Element EcoWear ships globally. The Element EcoWear website is online at www.ElementEcoWear.com.
