Why Choose Organically Grown Cotton T-Shirts?
- They are good for the planet.Conventionally grown cotton requires the largest amounts of pesticides and herbicides of any crop and many of these are cancer causing.
- For every 100% cotton organic t-shirt that is produced, 1/3 lb of pesticides and chemicals stay out of the environment.
- Most Organic t-shirt manufacturers support fair trade. Many conventionally grown cotton gets shipped to countries where they are made into fabric and clothing in sweat shop conditions in poor, third-world countries. Many workers are not paid decent wages, and must work long hours in factories that have no labor, environmental, of safety laws. Purchasing organic t-shirts can provide workers with a decent wage and other employment services.
- 100% organic natural cotton is soft and pleasing to the touch.
Environmentally friendly alternatives to organically grown cotton include organic hemp, bamboo and flax.
