Why Buying Organic Women?s Tees Is The Need Of The Hour

Posted by abbott lee on June 16th, 2017

What if we told you that you could make the world a better place by the end of this article, simply because you would have learned the benefits of organic clothing? Perplexed? If you believe cotton is a safe choice just because it’s naturally grown then you must think again.

More than 50 years ago, cotton was grown using sustainable techniques. These techniques and methods did not actually deplete resources or created a health hazard.

However, during present times, the pesticides used on 'conventional' cotton increasingly threaten lives of people, wildlife and the environment. Majority of the pesticides were originally developed as toxic nerve agents during WWII and it is no wonder they have been linked to many forms of cancer.

Conventionally-grown cotton occupies only 3% of the world's farmland, but uses 25% of the world's most dangerous and harmful chemical pesticides as such.

Additionally, it has been estimated that less than 10% of the chemicals applied to cotton accomplish the job, the rest are absorbed into the plant, air, soil, water and eventually, our bodies. This can greatly contaminate air, ground and surface water hampering the entire eco-system in the longer run.

Apart from this, there are several other reasons why one should opt for organic women’s tees

Soft and highly comfortable: You should buy organic cotton because it is softer, lighter and breathes easier than conventional cotton.

  • It’s organic: As already mentioned, when organic cotton is grown, farmers use only organic, all natural means of agriculture. The cotton seeds are not genetically modified or treated with fungicides like conventional cotton. So, the organic tees are safer for the skin and environment as well.
  • Risks for farmers greatly reduced: Still in a lot of farms cotton is handpicked. This means that workers need to be present in the fields for hours across the entire day, potentially breathing harmful farming chemicals and also walking on them. One can reduce these health risks for farmers due to toxic chemicals and pesticides by buying organic cotton clothing and apparels.
  • Soil remains chemical free: Organic cotton farms use tried and tested techniques of farming such as crop rotation that evade the chances of injecting the earth with chemicals.
  • Fashionable: Last but not the least, a lot of designers and manufacturers have shown wide interest in organic clothing. This has resulted in an entire line of trendy organic ensembles. You can complement organic tees with a handmade mosaic bag to amp up your style further.
