Organic Clothing

"Going Green"

With the world becoming more and more "green," going "eco-fashionable" is on the fast track to popularity. Organic cotton is the version of its conventional counterpart grown without pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, chemical fertilizers or any other chemicals, and that makes it hugely different, especially considering that cotton (organic or otherwise) provides about half of all the world's fiber needs. Organically raised cotton is gradually winning over new ground both in the marketplace and on the farm.

Chemicals are taking a toll on our environment and human health as a whole. EVERY t-shirt made of conventional cotton requires 1/4 pound of harmful chemicals!! Recently, in the cotton field, growers are encouraged to implement soil conservation techniques such as no-till farming and improved irrigation to reduce soil erosion. Most of these techniques are practiced by organic cogtton farmer who are promising to lower levels of costly and environmentally harmful insecticides.

Soft and comfy, it's used for almost every type of clothing. Socks, shirts, sweaters, dresses, jackets, sportswear, and sleepwear and more are all made of cotton. Cotton farming, however is hard on the environment. Conventional cotton is one of the most chemically-dependent crops, sucking up ten percent of all agricultural chemicals and twenty-five percent of insecticides on three percent of our arable land. Twenty thousand deaths occur each year from pesticide poisoning in developing countries, many of these from cotton farming, according to the World Health Organization. Lets all go as organic as we can to not only help save the world, but ourselves :).

GO GREEN!! :)
