The Green Living Now Podcast
I thought organic cotton was safe...until this interview. I've spent years helping people reduce their toxic load — in their kitchens, their cleaning products, their food. But, what Courtney shared really surprised me. Most of us who are paying attention to what goes in our bodies. But, we don't necessarily pay attention to the clothes we wear. Some of us buy organic cotton. We read labels & we wash before we wear. It turns out that may not be enough.And, if you wear yoga pants, this one is definitely for you. Sustainable fashion expert Courtney Barriger has spent over a decade inside the fashion industry — interviewing scientists, toxicologists, and manufacturers, and getting back the reports most of us never see. What she shares in this episode about what's legally allowed on a certified organic garment, what happens every time you wash synthetic fabrics, and what certain fibers are doing to your hormones will change how you open your closet tomorrow morning. This isn't about making us feel guilty, but it is about information you deserve to have — and practical swaps you can make one step at a time.
