Still need a sweater this time of year…make it a greener one
Even though summer is right around the corner, you still need a sweater right now when you step outside from time to time. The sun has been peeking its head out slowly, but it’s still light sweater weather and for that you will need an eco-friendly sweater option.
There are so many different types of sweaters to choose from in this world, but the ones that are best are the ones that don’t cause additional harm on the environment. Here are a few that can make that sweater option come with no guilt.
1. Organic Wool Sweaters: These sweater options come from sheep that grazed on pesticide-free land and are ultra cozy. Try a sweater from Brook There.
2. Organic Cotton Sweaters: Sweaters that are made from organic cotton, you just can’t go wrong with, even ones that are made by hand as well. The hand-made sweaters made of organic cotton can help support the makers and the co-ops of fair trade where they work as well. Try sweaters by Indigenous Designs.
3. Recycled Cashmere Sweaters: These sweaters are awesome. Cashmere is one of the finest materials on the planet earth and recycling it into something new is above and beyond wonderful. Try sweaters by E Ko Logic’s. Or try sweaters by Margaret O’Leary that have been made of recycled cotton t-shirts.
