items that we use on a daily basis are also changing. This change has also come to the clothing business.
Most people are not aware that organic clothing production is now a billion-dollar industry. Many of us
probably don't even know what organic clothing is.
Organic clothing is the material that is made and grown in accordance with organic standards. This
means that in the process of growing the material no harm is done to the air, water and the earth itself.
These materials are not harmful to the earth's natural ecological system and meet the standards of what is
well known today as "going green". Another fact that most people are not aware of is that the clothing
industry adds more pollution to the natural environment than most other industries.
Cotton is one material where pesticides are used a lot because the crops are always being attacked
by various insects and bugs. On the contrary, organically grown cotton does not use any of these harmful
pesticides and nor do they add any other chemicals to the natural cotton.
Organic clothing is catching on but you may not find it in your local department stores. However, you
would be more likely to find a better variety by going online. Organic clothing may be a bit more
expensive than ordinary clothing. Cotton is not the only material that is grown organically, although it is
very popular. Other materials include hemp, bamboo and wool. Just as with organically grown cotton,
there are no pesticides or chemicals used in the growing process of these materials. Most people say that
clothing made from organic cotton has a smoother feel and is softer and gentler on the skin.

| Advertising is a form of communication that uses all kinds of media, and is visible everywhere these days. Typical customers of advertising companies are other companies, or businessmen, who want to persuade potential customers to buy more of what they make or sell. But there are other kinds of customers. Some organizations spend large sums of money on advertising a political party or other group that sells what is not, strictly speaking, a product or service. Such non - profit organizations are not typical advertising customers, and they prefer ways of spreading knowledge, changing attitudes, and improving society. Many advertisements are designed to increase sales of products and services by either improving brand image or, in the case of non - profit organizations, expressing ideas. In order to achieve th~s, advertisements will often pass on truthful information while delivering their messages. Every major medium is a means of delivering these messages, including television, radio, cinema, magazines, newspapers, video games, the Internet and billboards (大幅广告牌). Advertising will usually be created and. placed by an advertising agency on behalf of company or other organization. Spending on advertising has increased greatly in recent years. In 2006, spending was estimated at $155 billion in the United States and $385 billion worldwide; the latter is expected to reach more than $500 billion by 2010. While advertising can be seen as a necessity for economic growth and social development, it is not without social costs. Advertisement emails and other forms of junk mail have become so popular that ~they have become a major burden to users of I nternet email services, as well as a financial burden on Internet email service providers.
