Marlene Oliveira created a store on the internet that sells environmentally and vegan's fabrics.
Do you know how much making your clothing cost to the environment? So let me give you some numbers! According to Fashion NYC, we used about 8000 different chemicals to transform the raw material in crude tissue which are subsequently discharged into rivers. Tons of salt are released to ecosystems, dissolved in water, used in treating leather. To produce 11 million tons of polyester in the world, the equivalent of 11 billion pounds, requiring large amounts of energy during its manufacturing process and while this material is not biodegradable, is recyclable. Not to mention the 4 kg of carbon dioxide that each of us throws into the air every time we use the washing machine in one piece of close over 60 degrees, using also the dryer and ironing. It's overwhelming, is not it? But not all are bad news, sustainability in clothing has also become a matter of fashion, the result of greater consumer awareness and it's currently a rapidly growing market.
"Green fabrics" is one of such example. It is an online store, which bet on more environmentally friendly and vegan items, the result of a desire of Marlene Oliveira, which offer its customers a product that has enormous respect for people, animals and the environment. All fabrics are organic, fair trade, most are hypoallergenic, and are even recommended for people with sensitive skin. The manufacturing process ensures that does not compromise the health of livestock producers or uses pesticides and only employs natural colorants with low environmental impact. A quality assurance and eco sustainable certification by Global Organic Textile Standard, an international organization, which secures that the dyes are biodegradable, have total absence of toxic metals, formaldehyde and genetically modified organisms. For all these good reasons, you can now created your clothing completely environmentally friendly, with an asset the beautiful patterns proposed by "green fabric" of Marlene Oliveira. Welcome to a new, more sustainable and eco friendly world.
