Why Buy Organic Clothing?

When was the last time your buying decision benefited so many?

  1. You benefit yourself by having the peace of mind that the clothing that is touching your skin all day long is totally free from pesticides and chemicals. As soon as you put it on you feel the difference it makes. You relax knowing you are wearing a well made high quality, durable garment that will not harm you. Isn't that the way it should be?
  2. You benefit the workers that grow the cotton organically for our 100% certified cotton garments. They are not exposed to the harmful pesticides that are used on conventional cotton crops. It has been reported that conventional cotton is one of the most chemically-dependent crops, sucking up 10 percent of all agricultural chemicals and 25 percent of insecticides on 3 percent of our arable land; that's more than any other crop per unit. That adds up to 1/3 of a pound of chemicals to produce enough cotton for a t-shirt, and 3/4 of a pound for a pair of jeans. And that's just not bad for the planet; 20,000 deaths occur each year from pesticide poisoning in developing countries, many of these from cotton farming, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).
  3. You benefit our planet.
    Organic
    After all we have no where else to go so we need to look after where we all live. By buying certified organic clothing you are encouraging more to use organic methods in growing their crops. The benefit to the earth is very evident. Organic cotton, on the other hand, uses agricultural methods designed to help sustain the land it grows on, the people who grow and harvest it, and the planet in general. Organic farming really starts with the soil. Compost, frequent crop rotations and cover crop strategies replace synthetic fertilizers to keep the soil healthy and productive. Weeds are controlled by innovative farm machinery, hand labor or flame devices rather than herbicide applications. Rather than attempting to eradicate all insects with chemicals, organic farmers cultivate a diversity of natural enemies which prey on insect pests, and lure pests away from cotton by planting trap crops. Insect pests can be effectively kept in balance with well-timed introduction of beneficial insects to fields. In warmer growing regions, where the cotton plants must be killed or defoliated to pick a quality crop before the onset of winter rains, organic growers shut off water early, and apply certified materials to promote cotton boll opening and leaf dropping, readying the fibers for harvest.
  4. You support a local family run store by buying your clothes at B2B Organics. This also is a dying breed in our world of chain stores and conglomerates.
