Conventional farming allows the use of harsh pesticides, herbicides, defoliants, and synthetic chemicals. Picture still more chemicals used in the manufacturing and finishing of your cotton garment. It is a wonder there is any cotton left at the time you get it home! These chemicals are not just irritating to your skin, but the process also devastates ground water, natural habitats, soil fertility, and public health. Many of these chemicals are concentrated in the oils of the plants that are then used in Cottonseed Oil, prevalent in hundreds of conventional food products!

Why is cotton Eco friendly?
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.
