If you still need convincing the organic cotton is so much better for you and the planet then read on...
1. Organic cotton clothes are better for delicate baby skin...
because they are made with natural materials that are free from harmful chemicals, they are safer for your skin, more breathable, and softer than conventional fabrics too.
2. Organic cotton clothes are better for the environment...
because organic farming does not use fertilisers and pesticides which can harm the environment. The chemicals used in growing conventional cotton don't just affect the soil and environment either. They leak in waterways, negatively affect the farmers health are are difficult to dispose of safely too.
3. Organic clothes may last longer and are more durable than regular cotton.
Conventional cotton fibres might become damaged by all the chemicals used in their production - organic cotton fibres aren't exposed to all these chemicals.
This makes organic cotton clothes more durable and better quality in general.
4. Organic cotton is grown using less water
it takes 7000 litres of water to produce 1kg of organic cotton. To produce the same amount of conventional cotton you need 29000 litres of water.
That's a huge difference, isn't it?
5. Organic cotton is more durable.
Without the use of chemical treatments, organic cotton is more resistant to wear and tear and will last much longer than conventional cotton.
