BANG FOR THE BITE
If 10,000 Biters make their next intimates purchase an organic one, we'll avert the weight of 12 lingerie models in synthetic chems.
COCKTAIL FACT
Last March, a 45-year-old gamer held up a lingerie shop using a Japanese sword, then told a court he believed he was a female elf at the time of the crime.

Why don't you slip into something a bit more comfortable?
The Bite
Meaning eco-lux lingerie. Toss aside those worn-out granny panties, and slip on a sexy little number made from materials like hemp and organic cotton.The Benefits
- Pampering your naughty bits. Seat your bod squarely in the lap of luxury.
- Even Mama would approve. Mama Earth, that is; more pesticides are applied to conventional cotton than any other crop, so go for eco-alternatives like organic cotton or hemp.
- Turning on your luvah. What Biter bed-mate could resist you in va-va-voom undergarments?
Personally Speaking
After Heather informed her perfectly French friend Aurore about a certain failed date, Heather was shamed into buying new knickers after Aurore told her "No self-respecting woman owns bad undies."Wanna Try?
- G=9.8 Mya Bra - sleek-fitting bra in red or green, made from white pine tree clippings; also matching panties (€53/$73).
- Enamore Mon Cherie Knickers - pretty black hemp and silk drawers with a side tie and cream-colored lace; matching bralette, eye mask, and bed jacket also available (£36/$72).
- DreamSacks Cami Gown - this bamboo gown offers no-frills sex appeal ($45).
- GreenKnickers Eat Organic Knickers - saucy green panties made from organic cotton (£15/$30).
- Victoria's Secret - coming soon: VS will offer organic-cotton options in its Pink line.

If you build it…
To me, lingerie is something reserved for relationships...a little treat to spice up an evening with someone who has seen you after you've been crying or working out or screaming your head off unnecessarily about nothing in particular simply because your computer crashed three times that day.
In short, lingerie has never struck me as something to wear while wandering around the house on your own (itchy lace and creeping thongs), and why bother donning any during already-hot-enough new flings, or wearing any out in the hopes of a random hot evening? (I'm lucky if my legs are shaved, let alone if my underwear matches.)
Since I am perpetually single, then, this tip - at first glance - seems not to apply to me.
But lately, I am subscribing to the "If you build it, they will come" theory of life, and thus, have decided to put on some Mon Cherie hemp knickers.
-Heather...off to clean out my underwear drawer...

Biter Comments...
Now how about finding some for plus-sized ladies.
If your tip you say: "Toss aside those worn-out granny panties." I don't think you should be encouraging people to toss things aside. If something can still be used, people could be congratulated for using it. That's what caring about our world and becoming sustainable is all about. Simply throwing things away because we want something new is never a good idea. It's always a better thing to keep wearing the clothes you have rather than buying new ones, even if you the new ones are made with hemp or organic cotton or whatever. So, as a responsible site, you should be praising people for not buying things. And your tips should be geared toward people who are about to buy something anyway and would like to make the most enviro-friendly choice. Also, I happen to like granny panties. Not on me, but on women. So anyone who wants to do the right thing and keep wearing them, please drop me a line.
here's a fun way to recycle/reuse! make your own very eco-panties!

How about ideas for the guys? We like to look good for our partners too...
Now how about finding some for plus-sized ladies-Thanks John for caring about us ladies that have more to love.
Also, I happen to like granny panties. Not on me, but on women- And Josh thanks to you too for caring about the environment & not just about tossing wearable clothing for the next so called "green" item of the day. Also for liking women who wear more than a postage stamp for undies.
danielle, that's a great tip!
as for heather... wearing nice undies makes other things more probable. though, come to think of it, i wasn't wearing undies at the time i met my man....
Speaking of tossing things...The add google placed at the top of this tip on my gmail account was for: "www.onederwear.com - 100% Cotton Disposable Underwear Only $5.99 (5 pairs)." Kind of ironic. I guess google still needs to work out some kinks in its add placement system.
I like the other biters' point about not being wasteful in the name of going green.
Victoria Secret? Green? C'mon, listen to Reverand Billy: http://www.revbilly.com
check out his VS intervention.
I don't get it: What's the point of all this organically/sustainably grown underwear if much of it is made overseas and shipped all the way across the Atlantic or the Pacific on a diesel boat? We're avoiding the petrochemicals in one step and replacing them in another, canceling out the eco-benefit. We environmentalists need to see and question the big picture, not just one aspect of it.
I agree with Terry (above). I'd like to thank Danielle for her tip about making your own, that's always the best way to go since these T-shirts always end up in abundance at thift stores.
Brian: They're not very stylish but this is the only thing for men I could find:

Although I appreciate your newsletters most of the time, this one concerned me.
First - you should better research the facts...conventional cotton is not the crop with the largest use of pesticides. Dig a little and you'll get the real info.
The other thing I would encourage you and all "green" focused consumers to do is consider the entire product lifecycle. Buying finished goods of "organic cotton" does not take into consideration the entire product life cycle. Consider the dying, finishing and sewing process...not to mention packaging and marketing...all part of getting that product to the consumer.
On the positive side, I agree with other bloggers that we need to realign our buying habits to seek quality and longevity. It is far more "green" than what most of the fashion industry is focused on..."disposable clothing" that feeds the latest "trends."
