These are just a few benefits, to both us and the farmer, to growing and using organic cotton...
- Organic cotton is grown using NO chemical pesticides, insecticides or dyes and is kinder to delicate skin.
- It is thicker, stronger and much softer than conventional cotton.
- The cotton is a biodegradable and renewable resource.
- Also, Organic cotton is grown using sustainable growing practices so that the impact on the environment is reduced, these include:
- Untreated seeds and natural fertilizers are used
- Crop rotation
- Beneficial insects introduced to cut the population of bad ones so a natural balance is maintained
- The soil retains nutrients and the water and air stay clean for future generations
With these practices in place the farmers and manufacturers of organic cotton have better working conditions, a decent wage and as no chemicals are used they are not damaging their health.
