1.

Staggeringly the amount of water used in the production of non-organic cotton is more than four times greater than what is need to produce the same amount of organic cotton, which is 80% rain-fed.

2.

Organic cotton is non-GMO and uses no pesticides. This is especially important as the toxic pesticides used to produce non-organic cotton will often seep into the groundwater eventually contaminating rivers and killing local wildlife.

Not only is it softer but its skin-friendly, after all, it is cotton in its natural form and nothing else :)So you don’t have to worry about any nasty chemicals on your skin. 

4.

Only 1% of the worldwide cotton production is organic. No need to panic, you have now found a solution and have a place to get great-looking eco-friendly t-shirts. And there are many more small businesses popping up that offer quality organic clothing.

Clothing isn’t going anywhere and there will always be a demand. Its how we meet that demand that determines the fate of our planet.
