Yes It's Organic, an Online Store, Satisfies Demand for Organic Textiles
Yes It's Organic, an online store, featuring only organic and eco friendly products, sees tremendous growth in demand for organic textiles even in the current state of the downturn in the economy.

ST. LOUIS, MO, March 18, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- In most situations, it's obvious that today's economy is suffering. However, take a look at the organic and eco friendly textile industries and one might think otherwise. Yes It's Organic, yesitsorganic.com, is an online store featuring organic, fair labor, and eco friendly textiles. During the fall holiday season of 2008 several of its suppliers actually ran out of stock.

"It's pretty amazing," says Ed Mass, President and Founder of Yes It's Organic, "I thought at first my suppliers didn't properly calculate what they'd need, but I found several of them ordered up to 150% more than the previous year! It's obvious the demand is great and we're excited to meet that demand with increased organic textile stock and product options."

During 2007-2008, the amount of organic cotton grown worldwide grew by 152 percent, according to a report by the Organic Exchange. Why is the demand so high for organic and eco friendly textiles, i.e., items like clothing and bedding materials? Ed Mass believes it's because today's consumers are becoming increasingly aware of the environmental and health threats posed by non-organic textiles on people and our planet.

Mass says, "Many of our customers tell me they are concerned about chemicals from non-organic clothing and bedding affecting their health and the world in which we live. Many are concerned about the environmental degradation caused by non-organic farming techniques. Some say they have multiple chemical sensitivities (mcs) or allergic reactions to the chemicals, which may be a warning to the rest of us. These people find they are only able to wear or use organic clothing, bedding and towels."

How can someone be certain their purchases are benefiting their health and that of the environment? Mass suggests developing a trust in the retailer where purchases are made, that they have obtained the appropriate third-party certifications from their suppliers. Yes It's Organic offers useful resources to its customers. It's Store Guides discuss the different terms used in organic and eco friendly certifications. The Articles section discusses organic farming and the eco friendliness of different fabrics.

When asked why the store offers so much information, Ed Mass replied, "I know how confusing eco claims can be in today's world where everyone is trying to capitalize on the green movement. That's why I felt it was important to clearly explain our policies, how we verify our products are organic and eco friendly and how our customers can be confident that their purchases are indeed benefiting their health and the environment, too."
