Why use organic cotton? It is well-known that ordinary cotton culture is very polluting for the air, the soil, water tables & rivers. It is by far the most polluting culture in the world (25% of all pesticides used for only 2.5% of agricultural areas). The World Health Organisation denounces the fact that each year 1 million people are intoxicated, & 22.000 die from working or living near cotton fields.
