Clothing

There exist many available options for high quality clothing and accessories that are made in ways that do not damage the earth. These businesses adhere to manufacturing processes that are both ecologically and socially sustainable. To be on this list they must sell or be involved with at least one of the following:

  1. Reusing and recycling clothing - a simple and effective pollution prevention strategy
  2. Organic cotton clothing - no toxic chemicals are used throughout the growing and rendering process, emphasizing natural, biological methods
  3. Hemp Clothing and Accessories - these items are grown without toxic herbicides and pesticides, and the crop returns 70% of its nutrients to the soil

The City of Peterborough has a number of locations that offer these products at very reasonable prices. Keep reading to find out more!
