Reusing and recycling is great. I think that's what quilters do best. But, what about at the buying end? How many of us look for organic, sustainably farmed fibers, or non-GMO fabrics? Someone else brought up the fact that ordering by mail, or internet, saves in fuel. That's an idea. What about how fabrics are produced? Are the dyes toxic? Do they have to be shipped from half way around the world?
