Did You Know:

Organic cotton is grown without the use of pesticides, herbicides, chemical fertilizers, and all the nasty agrochemicals that pollute the environment. The elimination of these chemicals leads to so many benefits: Organic cotton (OC) crops help to replenish and maintain soil fertility and promotes more biologically diverse agriculture. OC crops also require less water, thanks to the increased organic matter in the soil. OC farmers use clever methods to keep away pests, like beneficial insects and trap crops, planted to lure away the insects that damage the cotton. Clothing made from OC is naturally softer and more comfortable on your skin, since it's free of chemicals like chlorine and formaldehyde, which are commonly applied to conventional cotton products. According to the Organic Trade Association, worldwide production of organic cotton has been growing at a rate of more than 50% per year (since 2007).
