Organic clothes and textile, a solution to water scarcity?

Water is inevitably getting scarce. According to the World Health Organization almost 1 in 5 people on this planet live in regions where water is physically scarce. The situation is likely to get worse:

There's many causes to that, but one of them is the amount of water needed to make clothes or other textiles. Just think that it requires 2700 liters of water to make a T-shirt and almost 11,000 liters to make a jeans (compared to the 2 liters of water a human needs per day to stay alive). Not all this water is spoiled in the process, of course, but much is.

Hence the need to rethink the way we produce textile. Fashion designer Suzanne Lee seems to have found a solution: organic textile. Looks nice and it creates loads of opportunities to mold the designs any way possible. There's a small drawback to it but, hey, nothing is perfect...

At any rate this is pretty close to the 'cradle to cradle' concept - much  needed in the clothing business if you think that nylon for instance takes 250,000 years to degrade biologically...

Maybe organic clothes are the way forward...
