Organic Cotton And The Environment

Eating food and wearing clothes grown without unnecessary chemicals is both good for you and the environment.

Organic farmers work with nature. Trees, hedges, and wide un-farmed field edges are important on organic farms. These provide habitats for natural predators such as beetles, spiders and birds which control pests. Farmland birds have declined by up to 95% since the introduction of pesticides into farming. Organic farming offers a real alternative and buying organic food supports a living countryside.

Organic farms have…
•44 per cent more birds in fields
•More than five times as many wild plants

Organic farming bans artificial fertilizers which pollute our waters. Organic farmers fertilize their fields by rotating their crops, using composted manure, and planting crops which naturally feed nitrogen to the soil. source: the soil association.
