Undies for the earth
By Trystan L. Bass
Thank you Grist for tackling the really important issues … how green is your presidential candidate ... achieving social justice with green jobs ... and earth-friendly underwear ...
Yep, you heard that right. Environmentalists finally have a comprehensive guide to a carbon-neutral lingerie drawer. Who says being green is all work and no play?
Buy organic cotton or hemp briefs, since tons of pesticides are used on regular cotton and nylon production is messy. Go commando every so often -- it's good for the planet (and maybe your love life!).
Look for eco-friendly detergents to wash your skivvies. Make everything smell pretty with natural sachets. And consider upgrading to a sustainably-made dresser to store all your new boxers or camis.
