<\/p>Organic Cotton vs Regular Cotton<\/p>
<\/p>
Are you aware that most cotton is genetically engineered? That chemicals such as Monsanto's Roundup are sprayed on the plants right before harvest, contaminating both the plants and soil (and thus the water supply)?<\/p>
<\/p>
These chemicals destroy ecosystems affecting human health, and since 1950 pesticide use in the US alone has increased from 3 million pounds to more than 260 million pounds per year today. We couldn\u2019t find enough information on the UK and worldwide pesticide use, but the numbers we saw were shocking.<\/p>
<\/p>
More and more people are choosing to buy 100% organic cotton clothing. Where is this trend taking us, and why are people turning to organic cotton clothing in the first place? Is it all about the health benefits? Or is there another reason why women prefer to buy organic cotton clothing? Let\u2019s find out.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
Cotton is often regarded as the fabric of our lives, and can be found in almost any store imaginable. But cotton clothing comes at a cost. There are innumerable ways the conventional cotton industry is harmful to the planet, the environment, and the people around it. And while we don't think twice about grabbing a t-shirt or pair of socks off the rack, our carefree attitude toward cotton changes once we learn about its dark side.<\/p>
<\/p>
