"Anybody know where can I find ORGANIC PANTS (cotton or/and hemp or/and linden or/and natural fiber) But in real NAVY COLOR…They have to be fully natural fiber because I do react to all synthetic fabric…include spandex in small quantity. it’s for a Uniform so I can’t change the color… Also, it could be great if the price is under 70 $ Canadian dollars. Been searching for all ever on the web ! Thanks to anyone for any help."

MEC carries quite a few organic cotton items (both their own brand and others, such as prana and blurr). here is one (its a women’s version but also come in men’s, called journeyman pants):

a lot of companies are using organic cotton now – patagonia, prana, blurr, etc. so check them out.

hope this helps.

Do you know of a place I can buy clothes all the while being conscious of my impact on this earth? I am looking for eco-friendly clothes. I want to be able to try these clothes on, so I would not want just an online store. Please Give the names of these stores, and if they have them, their link to their store. Thanks a bunch!

at jcpenny, they have a collection of WWF (world wildlife foundation) clothes. whenever you buy a shirt from that brand, it donates money to saving the animals in the wild and animal rescue places. they also used to have organic shirts and bags there from the brand Grow Free. check out that store, its probably your best bet and they have jcpennys all over the place.

Does anyone know if "Organic Hemp Plus Brownies" get you stoned? ?

As a board member of the Hemp Industries Association, I feel that I am qualifies to answer this question for you.

No, you cannot get "stoned" from Organic Hemp Plus Brownies

To be classified legally as Industrial Hemp, the plant can contain no more than 3 tenths of 1% delta 9 THC (that’s like having a stack of 10,000 pennies and only 30 of them are shiny and new).

The seeds of the hemp plant do not contain ANY amount of this compound. However, trace amounts are picked up on the hulls of the seeds during harvest as the seeds come into contact with the rest of the plant. But not to worry, the seeds are very carefully cleaned to further reduce any THC left on the hulls, and the hulls are removed before going into the brownie mix.

Being male or female has nothing to do with the THC levels of the plant. Any cannabis plant containing more than 3 tenths of 1% THC, is considered marijuana.

Also, these are brownies that are sold in grocery stores,
and by mail order from a US location.
See below:

WorldPantry.com, Inc.
601 22nd Street
San Francisco, CA 94107

Phone: 866-972-6879 (Toll-Free)
415-401-0080
Fax: 415-401-0087

If they contained ingredients that would get you "stoned", they would be considered illegal.

These brownies contain hemp seed, prized for their EFA’s Omega 3 and Omega 6.

I hope that this qualifies as a respectable and thorough answer to your question.

I’m trying to find organic, fair trade hemp jeans (not cotton, although I’ve found a lot of those)
Can anyone help me out?
I don’t really care where it’s from, as long as they have an online site or if not a site, a store in the Ottawa area.

Organic cotton vs. Hemp?

admin — Sat, 10 Apr 2010 01:38:02 +0000

My university environmental club wants to make t-shirts, & of course we want to support & use only sustainable, earth friendly materials. Which is better organic cotton or hemp for t-shirts, and what is the cost difference? Also does anyone know where we can purchase?

You can’t go wrong with either organic cotton or hemp & organic cotton. Most, if not all, hemp tshirts are blended with some other fiber and most are blended with organic cotton or conventional cotton… some are blended with bamboo or rayon. A 100% organic cotton tshirt is going to be softer, and I belive, feel more comfortable. Hemp is a stronger, courser, heavier fiber, about 8 times stronger than cotton, so the shirt will last much longer and keep you much warmer in the winter. I always wear a hemp and cotton shirt as an undershirt in the winter. Hemp is also more breathable than cotton, but the weave has a lot to do with breathablity. Also hemp is more UV resistant than cotton. The hemp plant is better for the soil than organic cotton. Hemp roots are very deep and actually kill weeds, so it is often used as a rotation crop. The next year, after growing hemp, if the farmer plants wheat or soybeans, for example, the farmer won’t have to use as many pesticides or herbicies because the weed roots have been killed by the hemp plant roots. Hemp is generally a little more expensive than organic but not much. Just about all hemp textiles are made in China and there is some concern about the transparancy of factory working conditions in China. Romania is the other major hemp textile market, but Romania clothing is a bit more expensive. Hemp from Romania is very soft and generally higher quality than hemp from China. This also goes for twine. Major organic cotton growing regions, such as India, Pakistan and Europe, for the most, part don’t have labor issues. And these countries also tend to do a better job of recycling or disposing of dyes that are used in dying the tshirts. China has a reputation for not properly disposing of excess dyes in an ecological manner. A couple other considerations when comparing hemp vs. organic cotton tshirts is to look at are the size/cut of the tshirt and the weight. A 240 gram t-shirt is a nice heavy weight tshirt. I’m not sure about sizing, but often with clothing coming out of Europe or India, the cut is fairly small by American standards. Both fabric’s tend to shrink about the same, about 2% to 3% so you want to make sure they have been pre-washed.

Here are some places to get hemp and organic cotton tshirts.

Hemp-Sisters.com
Enviro-Texiles.com
HempTraders.com
Ecolution.com
Efforts.ca
Hemptown.com

All the above companies make or contract out production. Ecolution makes all their clothing in Romania. They sell only wholesale, but they’ve either created or partnered with a couple retail sites… Rawganique.com and hemp.com. Effort and Hemptown are both from Canada, but I think they have warehouses in the US. Hemptown recently changes their name to HT Naturals I belive and are now doing some bamboo and soy clothing. They also have some really soft hemp and cotton tshirts in several colors. Enviro-Textiles, hemptraders and hemp-sisters are in the US. The only other thing to keep in mind is that organic textiles are not regulated the same way organic food is… it helps to see if the company you are buying from is a member of the organic trade exchange and if the organic cotton is certified. Even if it is certified, many certifications in China are questionable. Also, check out the above sites for other clothing items… hoodies, drawstring pants, shoes, hats, handbags, backpacks, wallets… maybe you don’t buy all these different items, but it’s good to spread the word and maybe members of your organization will buy them. Today you have have hemp jeans, hemp oxford shirts, hemp shorts, hemp hats, hemp curtains, hemp bedsheets, hemp rugs… you can probably replace every garment you own with either hemp or organic cotton. Thanks for asking this great question… Take Care, E-

Would you be interested in fair trade organic hemp clothing?

Hemp fibre is very durable and environmentally friendly. I’m
researching selling clothing made from hemp and selling it online.

My idea is to buy it in Chiapas from local farmers and then pay people there to make it into clothing.

I want to offer both traditional indigenous style clothing and ready-to-wear designs.
What evidence is there that fair trade products are of inferior quality to the same products not produced and sold under fair trade practises?
There is growth in consumers buying fair trade products so clearly they must be satisfied with the quality and prices.

Personally, I have found ‘fair trade’ products to be of equal or better quality than most of the non fair trade products I buy.

And yes, they are more expensive ~ that is the point!

Instead of paying a dollar less and knowing tiny children missed school to pick beans for your coffee, you know the goods were produced in ethical and sustainable ways.

I am willing to pay a little more and do without that extra consumer item elsewhere in my ‘wants list’ to make it work.

As for the organic hemp clothing ~ if they can be imported into Australia, I would LOVE to buy some (PS: shelob is right, I would prefer plain colours than patterns, too).

Great initiative

Cheers
