| For Mother Earth: The chemicals that are often used in the raising of the non organic, conventional fibers are harmful to the environment. The job of the pesticide is to kill bugs. Most pesticides kill bugs indiscriminately, not caring what kinds of bugs or animals it harms. Many of the bugs that are affected by the pesticides are a major importance to the food chain and the whole ecosystem. Pesticides have been documented to harm the reproductive abilities of birds and small mammals which feed on the bugs. Pushing some species near the brink of, and into extinction. Also the majority of pesticides are neuron toxins, (things that harm the brain and nervous system) not just to bug but to all carbon based life forms, including you, me and Fido. Likewise, herbicides have similar effect on the plant kingdom and the small creatures which feed on the plants. Dangers of fertilizers: phosphorus rich fertilizers often run off with the rain into rivers and lakes causing an explosion of algae. The overgrowth of algae push the ecosystem out of balance and can cause lake and marine animal death and extinction. When you buy organic clothing you can be sure that the fibers did not come from an assault on Mother Earth, but in a partnership with her. |
| Organic fabrics are grown without pesticides, herbicides or other poisons whose residues can remain in the fiber and cause reactions on the skin or inside your body. Also they are processed without the harsh chemicals and with low impact dyes so that you, your baby and Mother Earth can all remain healthier and happier. |
Cotton represents today about 40% of textile production in the entire world. China is the first producer with more than 7 million tons harvested in 2006/2007. India and the USA are respectively second and third with a production that reached more than 5 million tons for each country. The latest International Cotton Advisory Committee (ICAC) estimates suggest that 26.0 million tons of cotton will be produced in the world during 2007/08, only 50,000 tons more than what was produced in 2006/07. Flower the cotton cultivation is crucial for the economy. It also presents major problems for our environment. There are more pesticides and insecticides used to grow cotton than for any other crop. Each year cotton growers use around 10% of the world’s pesticides, and 25% of all insecticides in production. The consequences of this millinery farming have to be taken very seriously. These toxics can be a threat to people and wildlife. It is as much the farmers’ responsibility as the consumers’ to help promote clean production of cotton through producing and buying organic cotton products. This is not always easy. The soil for organic cotton has to be clean from all growth stimulator's, pesticides or insecticides for three years before planting. Since cotton is a fragile crop, it takes time and hard work to have a good yield with no use of toxic agricultural chemicals. Consequently, the price of organic cotton clothing tends to be higher. However, there is a real edge in harvesting organic cotton! Thanks to an official certification system, when you will buy a “certified organic” t-shirt there is no doubt about how the textile has been produced. Independent organizations come to inspect the farmers regularly to be sure they meet or exceed the standards or organic production. Thus, the quality of the fabrics is better and lasts longer. Add the fact that you are protecting the Earth and you’ll find the extra cost a very small one! |
