Why go organic?
Deciding to go for organic cotton t-shirts was a no-brainer. Our mission is and will always be: to produce stuff that is environmentally friendly.
So what’s the deal with cotton and why is it important to always choose organic from now on? Here at King Cockerel Co, we have listed 4 facts to help you understand.
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.
3.
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.
