Conventional cotton production uses around 11,000 litres of water for every kilogram of cotton produced. As it takes around 450g of cotton to make the average t-shirt that's a highly water-intensive 5000 litres per garment! Cotton is grown on 4% of the world's arable soil. Annually 24% of all insecticides, and 11% of all pesticides used in the world are used on just one crop: cotton. It is estimated that less than 10% of the chemicals applied to cotton fields are actually doing their jobs. The rest goes into the air, soil, and water around the fields, harming or killing wildlife and farm workers, and severely affecting the ecology of the surrounding areas. 3,000,000 people suffer the effects of pesticides poisoning each year, 20,000 subsequently die. Cotton pesticides can enter our food chain through processed foods (from salad dressings to margarine and biscuits) that contain cottonseed oil, and through meat and dairy products since cows are often fed cottonseed meal. Over 45% of all conventional cotton grown in the US is genetically engineered. Conventional cotton is bad for our health, damaging to the workers who produce it, and destructive to the environment. Over 8,000 synthetic chemicals are routinely used at some stage during a conventional garments' production. 5 reasons to give organic cotton a go!
