How to wash clothes eco friendly?
I would like to know how can I wash my clothes, efficiently and eco friendly.
The Expert answers:
Get a he front-loading washer with the highest spin rate you can get use an eco friendly detergent (I use ECOS) hook the washer up to rain barrels and for dryer use a clothesline when possible and a dryer with a moisture sensor when not possible. If you choose not to go with the rain barrels there are systems that store one loads rinse water to be used for the next loads initial wash water which would effectively cut water use in half and as the water from the final rinse would have some detergent may cut down on need for detergent.

What Do You Think Of Eco-friendly Paper Clothing?
This is for a project of mine regarding ‘Sustainable Paper Fashion’:
House-Wear, a brand founded by Laura Sansone has created eco–friendly paper clothing instead of the usual organic cotton. These lightweight clothing are made up of flame-proof washable, breathable, recyclable paper called Tyvek.
Here is an example:

Would you shop from a retail store exclusively carrying ‘eco friendly’ clothes and accessories?
The clothes are actually really cool and isn’t all “green and granola”. Just wondering if fashionista consumers would find it intriguing to walk into an eco friendly clothing store without having preconceived ideas on whether or not we’d be carrying all Birkenstocks and hemp clothes (which we’re not).
The Expert answers:
I would definitely go into a store like that
but it all depends on whether the clothes is fashionable and affordable
those are the main factors that would decide if i was gonna buy anything and come back the store.
