I can't afford it at this time. Plus there is not much available in this area. And online it is very expensive. No I am not. I can’t afford it at this time.

Unfortunately, Heather's store leads straight to ebay and PayPal is all that is accepted for payment. I just disconnected myself from PayPal because I had three fradulent charges initiated from PayPal. It was a significant amount of money. The ONLY thing PayPal will do is tell you to open a claim. Not a fast way to get your money back. I had to cancel my credit card. Upon speaking with my credit union, this is becoming a common occurance. I sticking with my credit card (when the new one arrives!), checks, and cash. I don't need another layer of money managers. Great information!

I haven't seen any adult organic clothing available in Red Deer, Alberta, Canada, but I also haven't looked for it. I did buy some organic baby clothing for a shower gift at Babies R'Us. I checked out TheOrganicAcorn website and love the Green Flutter Top; the only thing stopping me from buying it is that I don't use papal.

I LOVE bamboo and hemp clothing, but why is it so darn expensive and hard to find? Bamboo is supposed to be one of the fastest growing plants ever. Yet, a bamboo t-shirt costs about $24 on average while a plain ole cotton t-shirt is about $3. I wish it weren't so costly to live a healthy and environmentally responsible lifestyle. ~*~ Namasté ~*~ I am not currently wearing organic clothing (except for my 100% raw organic birthday suit), but do own several pieces of organic cotton, hemp and bamboo clothing/textiles.

I have a huge closet in need of paring down. Very little (any?) organic fiber. Sad. I am committed after reading this that I will purchase nothing more unless 1) it replaces two or more items going to goodwill, and 2) its made of organic fibers thanks to Donna V for the bamboo info.

I'm not wearing all organic fibers right now, though I do often wear them. I am wearing bamboo socks and recycled cotton clothes. But........ soon I will be sleeping in my organic cotton PJ's for the night. The organic fibers feel so good that I will slowly replace my wardrobe with these as my old clothes wear out. I will check out the underwear on Heather's site, as it makes sense that the moister areas of the body will absorb more from the clothes and also the body will need to expel moisture more from these places.

YES! I'm wearing Green Label Organics t shirt from right here in Virginia and BGreen underwear, and some old regular cotton pants. 2 out of 3 not bad!

The rest is recycled from second hand store. It is linen. Thank you so much for bringing these ideas to the forefront on your show. The textile industry is one of the most toxic industries on the planet and responsible among other things for 1/2 of the world's contaminated waste water. And if you want to wear cotton, please, for all of our sakes, make it organic. Conventional cotton accounts for over 25% of all pesticides used globally. Even when grown organically it is classified as one of the top thirstiest crops. There is so much more to change, but as you say, one show, one day at a time.

I try to wear as much organic cotton and hemp clothing as possible. I made the commitment, a few years ago, that going forward I would buy only organic clothing. I found it difficult to find stylish and affordable eco-friendly clothing. My son and I decided to produce some organic cotton t-shirts with eco-friendly inks and our own designs. We were vendors at the Raw Spirit Festival '08 - perhaps some of you met us there. Our website is www.radiantreality.com. Check it out! Thanks to Kevin and Ann Marie for all they do!! Yes.
