LiViTY.org The Livi-Tee is made from environmentally friendly fibers, like organic cotton and hemp. Combining fashion with eco-friendly materials ...

I live in St. Paul, Minnesota. I've looked on Craigslist and poked around ebay but haven't had much luck. There's a store called Peapod's, but all the organic cotton/hemp/bamboo-woven baby clothes are SUPER expensive. I don't want to spend that much when my 3-month-old girl is just going to end up spitting up or pooping on some/most of these garments. At the same time, though, I'd like to "go green" with my baby. So recommendations?? Please and thanks!

I thought eBay had a descent amount of organic cotton baby clothes. This site helps you find organic cotton baby clothes ending soon on eBay. Easy to hop on and bid on items ending soon with no bids. You can get some good deals this way. http://www.organic-cotton-baby-clothes.c om/

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-

"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):
