Non organic Cotton crops are causing a lot of damage to the environment, mainly due to its use of a huge amount of pesticides (synthetic chemicals designed to be toxic for living entities -plants, insects, fungi...-, and therefore ... toxic for the environment)
Non organic cotton use about 3% of total cultivated surface on Earth but use 25% of pesticides.
Organic cotton is not using pesticides, and is therefore causing much less damages to the environment.
Organic cotton cultivation also impose crop rotations, which also have a lot of positive outcome on the environment, compared to intensive mono-culture.
But organic cotton is not "saving the environment". It only contributes to a more sustainable use of it. Water management, cotton transformation (dyeing...), transportation, waste management, etc. are also part of the global picture and need to be addressed.
In conclusion, Organic cotton is causing much less negative impact on the environment than non organic cotton. Switching from non-organic cotton to organic cotton is therefore a important part of any sustainability policy in the textile business.
But organic cotton alone is not a silver bullet, and other issues need to be addressed.
Cotton is a crop that needs a lot of water. Removing water from a river reduces the amount of water available to others. This has happened with the Murray-Darling river system in Australia.Cotton is usually grown as monoculture crop - one crop covering many square kilometers of farmland. This leads to a reduction of biodiversity in an area and increase the potential for crop specific pests and diseases.
It is grown in fields which is the environment.
Cotton is not bad for the environment. This is because it is an organism that is a part of the environment and it produces oxygen.
Some of the brands carry both but most only carry cotton. Eco-friendly fabric panties is new so only few of the brands carry it.

Eco-friendly refers to living in a way that is less harmful to the environment and more friendly to the environment.
One benefit is that some eco-friendly clothing is made from material that was not grown using pesticides. Therefore, in the process of making this clothing, no pesticides were released into the environment, which is beneficial, as pesticides are harmful to the environment. Some eco-friendly clothing just means that it is made from recycled material. This is beneficial because no new materials were used to make this clothing, instead, used material was recycled, and then reused! Eco-friendly cotton clothes usually last longer than those made from regular cotton because of the safer methods used to make the eco-friendly clothing. if you want to find out more here is a website that will be a great help to you.. http://www.rapanuiclothing.com.
