Our organic cotton is grown free from harmful pesticides and insecticides, ensuring that we preserve the health of farmers, workers, eco-systems and you and your customers. Soil Preservation: By using Organic cotton, we help preserve our farm’s soil. Healthy soil is full of good bacteria, fungi and other microscopic organisms. Organic farming preserves the health of these organisms, while conventional farming often destroys soil, leaving it barren and unable to support plant life. Water Conservation: Research has shown that organic cotton uses 71% less water than conventional cotton. Organic cotton is 80% rain-fed, allowing farmers and communities to conserve and divert their water for other essential uses. Eco-System Preservation: Organic cotton allows for eco-systems to remain intact and undisturbed. Weeds are removed psychically or with intercropping, no toxic chemicals or pesticides are used. Organic cotton is better for the environment, benefiting animals, insects and the Earth as a whole. Offsetting Our Carbon Emissions: We have partnered with UPS to offset all of our carbon emissions created during our shipping process by using UPS’s Carbon Neutral shipment program. Through UPS’s Carbon Neutral shipment program, we are able to contribute to preserving waterways, forests and eco-systems throughout the globe.
