Is The Clothing Company IXCHEL eco friendly?

i bought a pair of overalls from a local store assuming that they were eco friendly, maybe recycled patchwork. I have seen a lot of recycled patchwork items like the overalls before and i bought them without thinking. now i wonder if they are eco friendly so i could get more because i really like them but at the same time i want to buy eco friendly clothes. i already e mailed the company and so far no answer.

The Expert answers:

They are to a point, but it really comes down to your definition of “Eco-friendly”. They might say they are but you might have higher standards for what makes them friendly.

Actually, Brenda or whatever. Anything thats better for the environment is good and you should get it. I’ll laugh when you’re the one getting burnt by UV rays because all of our pollution broke the O Zone.

Linda asks…

how is eco friendly clothing good for the environment?

help please!! thanks

The Expert answers:

U’re kinda wrong, if u buy eco-friendly clothing that will not make natural-grown cotton. The cotton will still be grown with adding of pesticides and insecticides -> TO INCREASE THE EFFICENCY and amount, there will always be a BIIIG demand of cotton.
But if u buy eco-friendly clothing that will encourage making clothing FROM ECO-FRIENDLY MATERIALS, and perhaps, over time it will reduce the amount of pesticides/insecticides used to grow good cotton.
If u get to diminish those substances than u make a good thing for Environment, u won’t kill us(overtime) u wont kill insects/bees/other animals that are related to soil/plants(nearby those cotton fields), pesticides can go for long way with the water if they get into the soil…to many reasons not to use pesticides, therefor to use eco-friendly stuff.
BTW google some facts like DDT -now realeasing from OCEANS, or after 20 years there was found DDT in BREAST MILK …

Ken asks…

Why do eco friendly clothing cost so much?

i was trying to find eco friendly clothes and there all like £100-£150

The Expert answers:

I think partly supply and demand, more people wanting to buy few products.

It’s also partly the greed of suppliers, manufacturers, retailers and designers who are jumping on the eco bandwagon and taking advantage of the consumer.

I think you can expect eco friendly to be a little more expensive but paying a lot extra for someones name is unfair trading. I refuse to buy and wear anything that has a designer logo or name on it.

One way round the cost is to have a go at making your own, even designing your own. Or simply buy something basic and plain then alter it slightly or add trimmings to make it different or trendy and fit.
