Organic + Hippies = ?
July 16th, 2006
I’m not even sure I can come up with an answer. Down here in Florida you don’t see that many hippies/tree huggers. I think down here it’s to damn hot to be in that club. However, over near Sanibel I am sure there are some. I heard on the news that the club over there (in Sanibel) were complaining because the state was releasing to much fresh water from lake O into the Gulf and it was going to effect the salt water animals and vegetation. Who cares about the homes and the people that will die and lose everything if Lake O floods. Some people just don’t think! You may now be asking why I am on this topic and it’s because I have found one of the craziest things in the Tree hugger world. Well other than Ithaca, New York, The capital of Hippies and the only ecovillage with conversion vans and other gas guzzlers in the parking lot. So I was surfing online looking for some reference material for some work and I found this! Organic Cotton Panties! Now come on, it even says that all there cotton plants are organic. 96% organic Cotton. This is ridicules. Why would you buy these? I know that there is someone out there that is going to read this and then buy some. If you are that person. E-mail me or leave a comment. I’ll give you my address and you can send me the other money that you are going to throw away. I will be glade to take it off your hands.

I think I would buy organic clothing if given an affordable option. To grow cotton, a great amount of pesticide is used so I would support companies that curb their use of harmful chemicals.
I am also of the mind that the more the consumer demands those health and environmental changes then the more often he or she will see them on the shelves and at lower cost. Case in point, I have been buying organic milk for awhile (I can’t afford everything organic but I try to attempt meat and dairy at least). Anyway, my supermarket has always carried 2 organic milk brands and they run about $3.60 a half gallon. Well, last week I noticed that the supermarket started carrying their own organic milk brand for $2.99! That is awesome! So, hopefully as more people get on the organic bandwagon whether it be food or clothes or what have you, prices will go down and we will all be better off!
