Think of cotton, and what comes to mind? Clean, pure, and comfortable. The truth is, that if cotton is not grown organically, the reality may be far away from your perception.
Wouldn’t you like to feel the purity of softness, without the fear of chemical residue next to your skin? We, as a people, are beginning to realize the importance of wholesome, healthful food. Let’s take the next step to choosing organic cotton fabric for our apparel.
Organic cotton uses farming methods that help to sustain the land it is grown on. With organic farming, harsh pesticides, herbicides and synthetic fertilizers are not used. Instead, natural compost and crop rotation are used to keep the soil productive. Natural methods, including beneficial insects, help to keep the destructive insects in balance. Why is this important? Well, the more chemicals that are used on crops, the more chemicals remain in the soil that depletes natural nutrients, and eventually seeps into the groundwater. That’s what we support when we make the choice to purchase cotton clothes that are not certified organic.
