I get a ton of e-mail from some pretty neat companies about issues or items that might fit on this blog. While I’d like to post good company info right away the holidays got me a bit behind on e-mails. Thus, I think this week I’ll play catch-up and post some various posts about some different green-minded companies.
First I want to post this sale because it’s time-dependent. Pangaya contacted me and noted that they’ll be closing up shop soon. Too bad, because they’re a really nice eco-clothing company. The good news is that until they run out, clothing will be offered at up to 80% off normal prices. Not bad, huh. That includes sale prices on children’s clothing. All of their items are made with sustainable practices.
Let’s see what you can get for some killer sale prices… I picked out a few things I like.
Children’s items:
- 100% Organic Cotton Laurenceleste Poet Blouse
- Laurenceleste 100% Organic Cotton Patch Pocket Shorts and Tailored Shirt
For women:
- Earth Speaks Slip Blouse in 65% Hemp (and adorable)
- Stewart+Brown Lengthened Tee in 100% organic cotton
There’s a lot more great items to grab up at super prices – which you should, before they’re gone.
It is really odd and I’ve been wondering, too. I mean, I was a farmer at one time. I know for a fact is costs less to grow organically. No chemical fertilizers to buy, especially if you raise your own cows and use their manure as fertilizer.
I am sure there will be the arguments from people who sell/make the items that there is less of the organics to use, but…isn’t that a good enough reason to sell a little cheaper? More people can afford to buy, then more things are sold, more money is going back to the original source, indicating there is a market and reason for farmers to go organic.
Sigh.
I know. And this was / is a good sale. I always wonder about that. Organic and natural is so much more expensive. By a large %. Yet, consumers are urged to go green – it’s a problem. I should look into this aspect of the market. Normally, I’d just say buy less, and then buy organic instead – that’s where you save money. However, in your case (and mine) I’m thinking that we don’t buy too many extras anyhow.
I checked out the sale, still pretty expensive. It bothers me quite a bit that green choices are much more expensive than ‘regular’ clothing. I can’t afford to pay $100 for pants, not even to save the planet.
