Green Fashion consists of clothing and accessories that are either reused, recycled or made from sustainable fabrics. Sustainable fabrics include organic cotton, bamboo, hemp, corn, soy, peace silk and other eco-friendly materials. Green fashion is important because it causes less harm to humans and the environment.
