Be green from cloths



"Long ago, everything on earth was organic, and the word 'organic' doesn't exist. In this mass-production society it is rather hard to find items that are purely organic and produced in sustainable way. Fortunately, we are in a generation that is aware of these mistakes and we are starting to change our ways." (Mika Machida)

Do you know "Mika Organic"? Mika Organic is one of the cloths companies in the world. Mika Machida, the designer, always draw endangered species on her cloths. By drawing such animals, she wants us to realize the impact which we give to the environment. She only uses organic fibers, for instance, organic wool, organic cotton, hemp, and the like. Even if a recycle material, it uses chemicals in the process manufacture, so she never uses that.

Hoever, it is almost impossible to print pictures on cloths in organic ways, so she uses water-based ink, which has the least damage to the environment, instead.

The price is a little bit higher than usual cloths, around $200, but it can be a first step to be green person!!!
