Alternative Apparel

Alternative apparel was first brought to my attention by my son, and he is very selective about the organic clothing that he recommends so I take his opinion seriously. He showed me an Alternative Apparel 100% organic cotton t shirt that he had purchased alongside a couple of other brands that he had, and it was really obvious that the Alternative Apparel organic tee was much softer, and it had a great contour fit that was different than the other shirts. It also had a very rich color to it, and I have to say that the company seems like a very kind and conscious bunch to do business with.

If you like to wear organic cotton tees, but you are on a budget and you prefer affordable organic clothing, I would definitely recommend Alternative Apparel.

District Threads Organic Apparel

District Threads is a progressive apparel company that has recently been brought to my attention by a friend, and we both like to wear organic cotton t-shirts, so she felt compelled to recommend District Threads organic tees to me. I got them through an online store that is called Sedona Canyon Organics, and I was very impressed by the fact that they offer truly affordable organic clothing, and the District Threads organic t-shirts that I ordered arrived surprisingly quickly. These organic tees are truly fantastic, nice and soft and truly comfortable. If you like to wear affordable organic clothing, you simply must check out District Threads.

Green recycled, fair trade, and organic purchases

Green recycled and reused products are a great way to reduce consumption and make a move toward green sustainable living, and I think that we all need to consider the environment even though we are being conditioned to ignore it because of the economy. The economic system is a dinosaur that is not sustainable, but the government and the corporate controlled media benefit from the inequity and obscenely top heavy distribution of wealth. We need to develop our own alternatives, buying fair trade products, wearing clothes organic in origin when we can, and reusing things that are still perfectly functional.

Buy green organic goods when you can and take care of your neighbors and your environment, because the corporations that permeate the government sure aren't going to do it.

Organic tees

Organic tees and other organic and fair trade products are clearly a green choice for the eco conscious shopper, and there is no debating that. But I have noticed that many retailers that carry organic clothing and fair trade imports are trying to capitalize on the trend toward "going green" and targeting an upscale demographic with outrageously over-priced organic clothes.

The reality is that you can get organic tees and other organic clothing at a very affordable price is you shop with the right people. Don't pay forty or fifty bucks for an organic tee. Look a little harder and you will find them for a fraction of that price.

Organic bar

Organic bar shopping is getting more popular because an organic bar like a Larabar bar is a fantastic way to enjoy a nutritious quick meal or snack that is truly healthy and good for you. I feels as though personal experience is the most profound "convincer," if you will, and when I eat a Larabar organic bar, which is not only natural and organic, but also a raw food bar, I immediately feel an infusion of energy that is quite palpable.

If you are like me, when you are busy and focused on what you are doing you sometimes forget to eat, and being able to reach for a delicious and healthy Larabar bar is simple efficient, and nutritious. Go organic when you are feeling hungry and reach for the perfect food: an organic bar.

Organics and natural products

Organic clothing and food, and other natural products, are often thought of us expensive luxuries for the well-to-do, but in reality, they are simply "real" rather than synthetic. In my opinion, there is such a thing as common sense and intuition that takes precedence over the "science" that is paid for by corporations who are motivated by profit and nothing more.

What do I mean by "intuition," and is it reliable? A good example that comes to mind is the concept of the "conscience." Have you ever seen a conscience? Have you ever held your own conscience in your hand? Could you prove its existence empirically? The answer to these questions is no, yet, most of us are pretty certain that we do indeed have a conscience, because we have felt it, we have experienced the reality of its existence.

In this same manner, I feel as though nature is perfect and it cannot be improved upon by man, and any time that man tries to sidestep or alter natural processes, the balance of nature is impacted by a shortsighted force. This force, man, and specifically, man's arrogance and greed, is not imbued with the comprehensive wide angle long term understanding of the holistic impact that his actions will have on the ecosystem over time. This is why the native Americans had a policy of not implementing any changes unless they felt comfortable that they could predict the impact of their actions for seven generations into the future.

So to me, organic means real, natural, of nature. The alternative is man-made, fake, inauthentic, synthetic, like the difference between a golf course lake and a real one. Can't you sense the difference, isn't it somehow tangible to you?

It is not rocket science. Natural, organic products are better for people and they are better for the health of the planet. We should all do whatever is within our power to support organic farmers and green businesses, and we will be rewarded with better personal health and a cleaner planet.

Green organic money saving

We all know that organic foods are a big part of preventative healthcare, and if we are going to be truly healthy as a people, we need to look after the health of our ecosystem as well. Renewable energy and sustainable practices are essential if we are going to green the planet and create good, green jobs. The nice thing about making a commitment to a healthy, sustainable lifestyle is that you actually save money while you are saving the planet.

Products like the Solio universal solar charger, wind up radios and wind up flashlights, portable solar LED lamps, and energy and water saving shower heads are all great for the environment, but they also save the consumer precious dollars and cents.

Now is the time to go green, to heal the planet, and to preserve your financial resources during difficult times.
