Latest figures show that
people are using 25% more resources than the earth can sustain. We are committed,
through our company and our products, to make the best environmental choices
for our planet and choose organic cotton because:
- organic cotton supports sustainable farming
practices.
- organic farming promotes and maintains soil
fertility and encourages agricultural diversity through crop
rotation.
- no toxic pesticides or fertilizers are used in
the growing process
- no irritating chemicals are used in the
finishing of the fabric.
- the length of organic yarn is naturally longer
and therefore stronger
- the cotton is not weakened through chemical
processes or heavy metal dyes.
- organic cotton is soft and durable; perfect
for sensitive skin and improves with age
- the EPA (environmental protection association)
states that 7 out of the 15 most common pesticides used in conventional
cotton fields are possible or known carcinogens.
- buying just one item of clothing made from
organic cotton can prevent over 200gms of chemical fertilisers and pesticides
polluting the earth.
Organic is quite simply
better for the earth and better for our children.
