Is buying clothes more for the environment… or does it benefit your health to buy organic clothing/sheets etc? Thanks.

Both – buying organic clothes helps the environment because conventional methods of processing clothing, such as cotton clothing require many harsh chemicals to be used in the production of cotton. 9 of those chemicals/pesticides are highly toxic and 5 are thought to be carcinogens. The World Health Organization estimates that pesticide poisoning kills 20,000 – 40,000 people per year.

I don’t want info on small wholefood/organic shops (or conventional co-ops), thanks.

I don’t know of a supermarket, but there is "Suma", a nationwide wholesale wholefood company, which trades in organic, vegetarian, vegan, meats, gluten free and ethical products. You shop from home buy looking in the catalog and placing your order or by going online. There is a minimum order, but shipping is usually free. And it works out a lot cheaper than going to a supermarket, as you buy the goods at trade prices, not supermarket prices. It is also one of the very few totally ethical businesses in the UK…

If given the choice to buy organic, sustainable, or sweat free clothing, which would you choose? Which option has the greatest positive effect on the world in general? Does organic offer any benefit to your health?

organic/sustainable benefit your health by being better for the environment. and if you’re allergic to synthetic fibers/dyes then organic would be good.
it depends on what cause you think is more important: human rights or the environment?

I was needing a store that has more than a few products on their site!

Did you try Wholefoods.com?
I don’t know if any one store has EVERYTHING. I do have to shop to several stores… Amazon.com has quite a few organic things but very far from everything.

With maybe a gift registry option for a baby shower?
