good for you Birdgirl!!!
Did you know that the chemicals used on cotton, and the polluted runoff from cotton fields, surpass the deadly chemical and devestation from nuclear waste? Cotton requires tons and tons of deadly, river killing, fish killing, water table polluting, chemicals. 1 out of 3 americans will face cancer in their life time. No where in the world will you find that except in old Russia, and China, where regulation is absent. When you wear it(cotton) you put the resin from those chemicals all over your sweet lil self.
I do all my hemp shopping on e-bay, and down in Santa Cruz. Great stuff, cheap prices, enviromentally sane clothing, and my cash supports the hemp farmer, which makes this 50 year old man feel giddy all over.
When i became aware of the cotton industries farming practices i was pissed.
I have refused to buy cotton, unless it's organic cotton, since.
I have a 15 year old grand daughter who is one of a few kids in her school that wear all hemp, yak, organic, clothing.
I am extremely happy that you recieved my message with thought and concern. An opened mind for a different view is so important these days in what seems to be a closed minded consuming ourselves and our surroundings world. Here is a radio station that my friends in Freedom California operate. They play songs(even some of mine) that you wont hear on corportae radio, and they mention things that you just dont hear in most other places.
Independent music is the best. They wont play our music on top 40 radio, so we keep the back 40 to ourselves . We just a buncha ol fart hippies who insist on having things our way.

peace,
