Why Organic Cotton Clothes? Cotton is a breathable fabric and is universally a favorite choice of clothing, especially during the summer months. However, most of us who wear cotton clothes don’t know the environmental impact that conventional cotton growing has on this planet. Conventional cotton crops use nearly 25% of insecticides in the world. The chemicals used to grow cotton not only destroy the soil it is grown in, but can also penetrate our skin when we wear them and cause irritation. The alarming rate of increase in skin allergies, eczema, reduced tolerance and immunity to fight them can all be directly attributed to the cocktail of chemicals we are knowingly and unknowingly injecting into our bodies, through food, drinks, air and skin. Children more than adults are particularly susceptible as they are not even given a head start with a healthy, chemical-free environment to build their immune system. ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖
Benefits of Organic Cotton Clothes: ❖ Save Money for Medical Bills: With reduced exposure to allergens and other issues by patronizing organically manufactured clothing, you can be more comfortable wearing clothes and will worry less about health and medical concerns. You then save your money by purchasing medicines or at worst, expensive hospital or even surgical treatment due to skin issues. ❖Safety Standards: Organic clothing products are safer as manufacturers adhere to very rigid and stricter manufacturing standards. This is not only to minimize negative impact to the environment but to ensure customer value as well by subscribing to very high ethical standards such as Fairtrade Cotton, Better Cotton Initiative, FLO International and other global movements that promote organic cotton.
Benefits of Organic Cotton Clothes: ❖ Mental Health: The stress resulting from skin issues mentioned above along with possible debt due to medical or hospital expenditures can lead to undue stress mentally and emotionally. ❖ ❖ Be Environmentally Friendly: Producing organic cotton uses lower carbon due to lesser fuel and energy consumption. Organic cotton clothing will serve as a reminder to everyone that natural is healthier and cost effective in the long run.
