Re: Organic Clothing

We don't think about our skin being a way in which chemicals and other junk can get into our bodies, but it's highly absorbant and very sensitive to what we put on it.

Conventional cotton is one of the most heavily sprayed products in the world. It attracts several different kinds of parasites and other pesky little bugs, so farmers have to use pretty strong pesticides to keep them away.

Also, our white and pristine cotton doesn't come that way naturally. It goes through all kinds of chemical processes lile bleaching and dying, so from our bedsheets to our t-shirts those chemicals spend a lot of time against our skin.

Not only is it harmful to our bodies, but it's also harmful to the environment. All of those chemicals eventually run off into the soil which in turn gets redistributed in other places and the cycle continues.

I hope this helps. ;]
