Eco-friendly: why organic cotton?
Filed under: In The News, Going Green, Decor
It seems the term "organic" has become very popular in the past few years. Grocery stores, specialty markets and clothing boutiques are dedicating entire sections to organic goods. Our family buys organic food when possible, but I hadn't purchased many organic clothing items until after the birth of our son.
I remember thinking to myself, "Why should I buy organic clothing? How is organic clothing helpful to our environment?" After researching the issue, I learned that cotton is the most heavily pesticide-intensive crop grown in the United States. In fact, the pesticide residue contaminates nearby water ways, the air and the soil, eventually polluting the ground water for years.
I now know that purchasing organic cotton benefits our environment by supporting a sustainable method of cotton production, which doesn't pollute the air or the ground and surface water. The omission of synthetic pesticides greatly reduces the damage to our environment and human health.
Next time you see an organic cotton tee, remember supporting methods like these can make a difference in your little one's future.
