Though cotton is marketed as clean, fresh, and natural, conventional varieties are anything but! It takes a third of a pound of chemical fertilizers and pesticides to produce the cotton for one T-shirt! That means lots of direct, unhealthy exposure for farmers and nearby wildlife, and heaps of unnecessary pollution. Luckily, organic cotton is becoming easier and easier to find.
Organic Cotton is cotton grown without the use of synthetic fertilizers and other chemicals.
T-Shirt or polo shirt made using organic cotton will easily absorb moisture and be simple to embroider or print on, while still maintaining the high quality and affordability of traditional Tees.
How does Organic Cotton help the environment?
Cotton can be grown following strict ethical principles, which forbid the use of synthetic chemical pesticides & synthetic fertilizers. In their place, organic fertilizers are used, which have no effect on the cotton produced compared to most conventional cotton fibers, other than the fact that it is pesticide and guilt-free.
