Green Fashion"Green" clothes are everywhere, logos like "go green" or "think green" are spread across all kinds of clothing articles, but that doesn't mean they are good for the planet! What good are they? Besides getting that message across?

Eco Fashion : INDIE PEACE
Lawton Ursrey, founder of Atlanta-based clothing line INDIE PEACE just found out his 100% certified organic t-shirt line will be featured in the upcoming Woody Harrelson movie “Zombieland.” Harrelson will be wearing different shirts from the INDIE PEACE collection in the movie and liked them so much, he ended up keeping every style. Woody shared them with pal Owen Wilson and now Owen would like to wear them in his next movie as well. To add to the good news, Lawton’s INDIE PEACE line launched in 8 different Nordstrom stores starting the last week of April. This is major news in the retail market because most major department stores have not embraced eco-friendly or sustainable clothing for men in their stores. Lawton will now lead the way for other eco-friendly men’s clothing designers to break through these barriers. On a side note, this news came at the right time. Due to the current economic climate, Lawton had to close his Atlanta office and ended up moving his business to the basement of his home. He didn’t quit though – proving that even in an economic slump, socially responsible companies are surviving in this volatile market. Want a sneak preview of Woody Harrelson and Owen Wilson’s style and can’t make it to Nordstrom?

Give a little bit
You have to give green clothes some credit because they are supporting the idea of sustainability by citing green practices, sort of an "at least they're not just wasting everything and not trying at all" situation. Is there a word for that? I actually believe that truly green clothes are more like second hand or something like that. It's kinda good for the economy to have something new for people to purchase.
i loev the idea! i do get ur
i loev the idea! i do get ur point, but a lot of the clothes are made from things that are not abusing our environment [at least not as much]
most of the totes/handbags with these logos are like that. they are pretty neat. i know jcpenny has a TON of things right now && i was going crazy looking at everything. =]
Green Jeans
I think it's great that people want to use those logos to get their ideas across. Granted, it'd be even better if the materials for the clothing themselves were green as well. Rather, made out of natural fibers instead of synthetic. That way it'd be a lot friendlier towards the environment. And hopefully we can get this idea across. I will, however, give them this much. It's a start. And that's something.
