Unfortunately, conventional cotton production utilizes large quantities of pesticides, Of the 15 top pesticides used on cotton crops; seven contain chemicals that are known human carcinogens. Conventionally grown cotton consumes 25% of the insecticides and 10% of the pesticides worldwide. It takes approximately 150 grams of pesticides, or 1/3 of a pound to produce cotton for one t-shirt. These numbers are difficult to ignore.

Cotton production is a huge industry worldwide and generates revenues for over 50 countries. Fortunately we have choices as more and more countries are producing organically grown cotton.

Organic cotton farming utilizes crop rotation, cover crops and promotion of soil health. This system of farming strives for a balance with nature, using methods and materials that are of low impact to the environment. The term organic describes a method of farming without the use of toxic pesticides or fertilizers, sewage sludge, irradiation or gmos. To qualify as organic, a farm must be certified by an accredited independent organization. In the absence of agriculture chemicals, wild life around the farm can thrive. Organic cotton farming benefits everyone by minimizing chemicals dumped into the environment. It directly helps the farmers, their families and their communities. Often, small farmers or collectives, rather than large corporations run organic cotton farms. When you buy organic cotton, you are making a positive step to a healthier environment.
