Living a green lifestyle has been an iterative process for Suzanne Wyman.  Inspired by her vegetarian diet of many years, she began to research organics in both fabrics and foods in an effort to have a lighter footprint on the earth and do her part to reduce environmental destruction. 

 Cotton is one of the major culprits of herbacides pestcide and herbacide use in the world and has a terrible impact on local surface and groundwater in the regions where it is grown.  Using GOTS certified organic cotton in her designs means that the cotton has been grown without the use of herbacides or pesticides.

Additionally, cotton grown with the use of herbacides and pesticides carrys through to you, the consumer who wears the chemical ridden garments.  Dr. Brian Clement and Anne Clement of the Hippocrates Health Institute have recommended organic cotton in their recent book, Killer Clothes as the choice fabric for us to wear as it has the least harmful effect on us

Recently, at the first annual Raw/Vegan Festival in Toronto, she met many inspired people who aspire to live with vitality and integrity. She sees the connection between the food we eat and the clothing that we wear.
