Why Should I Buy Organic Cotton Clothing
Just because you don’t eat your clothing doesn’t mean going organic isn’t important. The cotton plant requires some of the most intense pesticide and fertilizer regimes of any plant. Although only about three percent of the world’s arable land is used for cotton, it uses about a quarter of the world’s pesticides and fertilizers. That’s about one-third of a pound per cotton shirt. Every time you buy an organic cotton shirt, you are not only saving those chemicals from leaching into our groundwater, but are supporting sustainable agricultural practices.
Ethical Gifts Are Eco-Friendly Gifts
When you support Swell Foop you are supporting a better way of life. There are lots of little things we can do to soften our impact on Earth, which is the only planet we’ve got. Cotton is a wonderful fabric, but factory farming techniques to increase yield and reduce costs has turned into one of the most polluting crops on the planet. Organic cotton clothing costs a little more but dramatically reduces the negative impacts on the planet. Be a Billboard for Change and wear one of our shirts!
