Why
are these products Earth friendly? Bamboo is like a weed -- it grows
and spreads quickly. In some cases, it can grow 3 or 4 feet per day without the need for fertilizers, pesticides or much water. Organic cotton contains no
toxins or synthetic fertilizers and is produced without
the use of harsh chemical bleaches or dyes, and is allergy free. Also,
organic cotton tends to use less water and with organic farming, soil is
rotated, which is much better on the environment. Conversely, traditional cotton is hard on the environment because it is the most pesticide dependent crop in the world. According to eartheasy,every
t-shirt made of conventional cotton requires 1/4 pound of harmful
chemicals! According to the USDA, in one year alone over 50 million
pounds of pesticides were used on U.S. cotton fields.
