1. Organic clothing is better for the environment because it does not contribute to pesticide run-off that can contaminate water and food supplies. Cotton is considered the world's 'dirtiest' crop due to its heavy use of insecticides, the most hazardous pesticide to human and animal health. Cotton covers 2.5% of the world's cultivated land yet uses 16% of the world's insecticides, more than any other single major crop (source: www.maggiesorganics.com)

2. Organic clothing is also better for the workers, who have to work (and live, typically) around the crops and spray pesticides frequently. Aldicarb, cotton's second best selling insecticide and most acutely poisonous to humans, can kill a man with just one drop absorbed through the skin, yet it is still used in 25 countries and the US, where 16 states have reported it in their groundwater.

3. Many people suffer from chemical sensitivities, such as MCS. For these people, the lack of synthetic chemicals found in organic clothing helps them to avoid substances that could trigger health problems.
