I am continually looking for creative solutions to living a more eco-friendly lifestyle, and focusing on apparel is a big step in the right direction. Most people do not understand the energy and water waste associated with clothing manufacturing, especially the dyeing process. Dyeing fabric can take anywhere from 7 to 75 gallons of water per pound! Chemical free processes like "S. Cafe" minimize the energy and water consumption associated with clothing manufacturing. I have recently found information on another company that helps address the massive amounts of pollution and water usage normally employed by clothing manufacturers at the dyeing stage of clothing production. Their eco-friendly dye process is called AirDye (http://AirDye.com/?21) and avoids using water as well as enormously reduces the amount of pollution to the environment.<br /><br />Another interesting technology along the same lines is called Xeros was recently written about in the Economist. See the article here: (http://www.economist.com/sciencetechnology/tm/displayStory.cfm?story_id=13892738)<br /><br />If anyone is aware of other eco-friendly technologies, please share!<br /><br />Regards,<br /><br />EcoguyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11632867033737844859noreply@blogger.com
