"To live at this time is an inestimable privilege, and a sacred obligation devolves upon you to make right use of your opportunities." --Grenville Kleiser

Fabrics are designed with so few chemicals that one could literally eat them. Sound like a Utopian, science-fiction vision of the future? Perhaps.
