Why Organic Cotton?
Our fabric of choice is Certified Organic Cotton. It’s commonly known that it takes one-third of a pound of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides to produce the average conventionally grown cotton t-shirt. Working with Organic Cotton farmers helps to: • • •
• •

Keep millions of pounds of chemicals out of the environment. Create healthier working conditions for farmers and agricultural workers. Reduce global warming. Organic farming pulls CO2 out of the atmosphere as much as 3 times the rate of conventional farming practices. Organic farming also releases less CO2 into the atmosphere because it does not use chemical fertilizers and herbicides. Support more efficient farming practices. Promote bio-diversity.
