Benefits of Organic Cotton
When we think of cotton we imagine white soft and cuddly clouds, where you could lay your head and rest all day…. But cotton today is far from our imaginings. The average 100% cotton t-shirt is really only 73% cotton and the other 27% is made out of chemicals (it takes approximately 17 teaspoons of pesticides to grow the cotton for only one t-shirt).
Today Cotton crops use more chemicals per area than any other crop. Coming up to 25% of the world’s pesticides. The chemicals used to process cotton also pollute the air and water. And some believe residual chemicals in cotton may irritate consumer’s skin; not only that they are consider to be carcinogenic and may affect the nervous and reproductive systems (World Health Organization’s list).
That is why we BELIEVE and absolutely LOVE organic cotton, no yucky stuff. Just plain, pure, soft cotton. Organic cotton is grown without the use of pesticides and the plants are not genetically modified.
By wearing organic cotton you not only ensure the best quality fabric near your and your loved ones skin, but you also do something nice for the environment.
Organic farms have…
•44 per cent more birds in fields
•More than five times as many wild plants
Organic farming bans artificial fertilizers which pollute our waters. Organic farmers fertilize their fields by rotating their crops, using composted manure, and planting crops which naturally feed nitrogen to the soil. source: the soil association.
Remember organic cotton might be a little more expensive than regular cotton, but the benefits of using organic cotton are immense, not only for the environment but the soft feeling against your skin.
That is the reason why all of MamaOm mommy and me boutique t-shirts are made of 100% organic cotton or other sustainable materials. T-shirts should be soft to the touch, breathable, pure and clean. That is something we would like to wear!
