![]() | ORGANIC COTTON We all like clothing.... however,our clothing, costs more than we pay in the shop. The farming methods currentlly used involve dangerous and polluting chemicals which poison farmers, the land and water. Dyes and chemicals used in processing are heavily polluting, and many workers in the industry suffer low wages, discrimination and poor working conditions. For a long time it was impossible to suggest an alternative. For all the problems caused by cotton farming, most synthetic fibres are no more sustainalbe, being based on by-products of oil production. Over the past 10 years innovative and pioneering entrepeneurs and farmers have begun to grow cotton organically, without chemicals. They have also taken us past the brown lumpy eco-look and are now producing clothing that is sutainable, ethical and fashionable.It is now possible for consumers to wear clothing that is good to look at, good to wear and better for those involved in its manufacture. www.pan-uk.org | |||||||
Cotton producers use nearly $2.6 billion worth of pesitcides annually, any highly toxic. Those used in developing countries are often banned or restricted in richer countries. The drive to increase production to meet demands has destroyed agricultural land across the world. Water is drying up, and rates of cancer in the local population are dramatic as well as tragic. | ||||||||
Each year over 80 million pounds of toxic chemicals are dumped on the conventional cotton fields,contaminating drinking water, poisoning bird and insect populations,drifting into neighboring communities and leading to the deaths and illness of thousand of farm workers. | ||||||||
