But I totally agree for the kid's clothes; frequenting thrift stores will benefit you and the environment and they have decent clothes. In addition to children, there are some good bargains for teenage clothes, especially if you know how to sew and arrange other pieces together.

That is an easy call since conventional methods of cotton production use such harsh chemicals. I have heard some varying numbers on the amount, but everyone agrees the chemicals just are bad for the earth and us. "Traditional cotton production also attributes to 25% of worldwide insecticide use and 10% of worldwide pesticide use." http://www.peacefuldisorder.com I know from first hand that organic cotton clothing is a great way to naturally alleviate some skin conditions.

It's small and I've had the opportunity to get to know the owner and she is completely committed to the green movement in the clothing industry. So, if your readers want to check it out it's www.embodies.com. I also do a feature every saturday on my blog talking about the clothes she carries :) good article!

A great way to really save on buying new clothes and be eco friendly is to just pass the clothes down. My parents did it with me as I was the second of 2 children and I wore most of my brother's clothes. He grew out of them so quickly that most of them were brand new. This was mostly for when I was younger because it gets much tougher to do once kids reach a certain age. I totally forgot about kids clothing.

But with kids of my own and the fact that I want to be environmentally friendly in every way I can, I now frequent the thrift stores. I always find great clothes at great prices.
