5 REASONS ORGANIC COTTON IS A SUSTAINABLE CHOICE:<\/strong><\/h1>

1. COMBATS CLIMATE CHANGE<\/strong><\/p>

Organic farmers use natural methods to grow cotton, not fossil-fuel based fertilisers. By working with nature, farmers build healthy soils which store carbon and help to combat climate change. Organic cotton emits up to 46% less greenhouse gas than non-organic.<\/strong><\/p>

2. SAVES PRECIOUS WATER<\/strong><\/p>

Organic cotton\u00a0is better for water than conventionally produced cotton. Organic farming creates healthy soils, which act like a sponge, soaking up water during floods and holding it for longer in times of drought. Hazardous synthetic pesticides and fertilisers are banned in organic farming, so rivers, lakes and drinking water are kept cleaner too.<\/strong><\/p>

3. HELPS FARMERS FEED THEIR FAMILIES<\/strong><\/p>

Organic farmers always grow other crops alongside their cotton. These crops can provide farming families and their communities with a more stable, accessible, abundant and diverse food supply and another source of income.<\/strong><\/p>

4. GIVES CONTROL TO FARMERS NOT GM COMPANIES<\/strong><\/p>

Genetically modified (GM) seeds are banned in organic farming,\u00a0so farmers are not reliant on a handful of GM companies. Instead, they save their seeds year after year, and work with the environment in a long-term, sustainable way.<\/strong><\/p>

5. ELIMINATES HAZARDOUS SYNTHETIC PESTICIDES<\/strong><\/p>

Organic farmers use natural methods like crop rotation to control pests and diseases, not chemical cocktails. Hazardous synthetic pesticides used in non-organic farming can damage ecosystems, poison waterways and endanger workers who can\u2019t always afford safety equipment needed to protect them. Conventional cotton alone is responsible for 16% of all insecticides sold worldwide.<\/strong><\/p>","urlTitle":"5-reasons-to-buy-organic-clothing","url":"\/blog\/5-reasons-to-buy-organic-clothing\/","editListUrl":"\/my-blogs","editUrl":"\/my-blogs\/edit\/5-reasons-to-buy-organic-clothing\/","fullUrl":"https:\/\/happi-inc.co\/blog\/5-reasons-to-buy-organic-clothing\/","featured":false,"published":true,"showOnSitemap":true,"hidden":false,"visibility":null,"createdAt":1618140674,"updatedAt":1618140719,"publishedAt":1618140719,"lastReadAt":null,"division":{"id":137838,"name":"Happi Inc"},"tags":[],"metaImage":{"original":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/kkfm0yh7budvocrd0jg83ehltfdhataef7w00vixofnwdo6x.jpeg","thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/kkfm0yh7budvocrd0jg83ehltfdhataef7w00vixofnwdo6x.jpeg.jpg?w=1140&h=855","banner":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/kkfm0yh7budvocrd0jg83ehltfdhataef7w00vixofnwdo6x.jpeg.jpg?w=1920&h=1440"},"metaTitle":"","metaDescription":"","keyPhraseCampaignId":null,"series":[],"similarReads":[{"id":11619,"title":"Ethical Fashion","url":"\/blog\/ethical-fashion\/","urlTitle":"ethical-fashion","division":137838,"description":"When we talk about sustainable clothing, it\u2019s important we understand what that really means.
