Certified Organic Cotton
While cotton is known for its comfort qualities not many are aware of the differences when it comes to Organic Cotton.
So, what is... Certified Organic Cotton
India and China are still major countries that cultivate cotton for exports; yet they are not the best cultivator when it comes to 100% ethical cotton farming and the practice of sustainability.
Since cotton cultivation used a lot of water; and by not using organic fertilizer and eliminating ZERO chemicals has caused depletions in the soil.
Which is damaging to our environment in the long run. Also; what's lacking are farmers are not properly being educated enough on what kind of fertilizations that can be used and by doing so 100% cotton can be certified as organic!
Yet today in USA; part of organic farming slowly comes to full implementation, the actual facts can be found out in these following links through their sites:
