Natural Cotton: Facts And Reasons To Use Organic Cotton, Instead Of Non-Organic Cotton
Organic cotton is cotton from non-genetically modified plants, that was grown without use of pesticides and synthetic fertilizers what can end up in the air, water, ground and food supply. Organic cotton production improve environmental biodiversity and promote balance of ecosystems. All cotton sold as organic in the USA must meet special requirements which are regulated by National Organic Program from USDA covering how the cotton is grown.
All organic cotton producers are required to meet standards of Organic Food Production Act of 1990, enforced by The State Organic Program.
The first organic cotton project started 1990 in Egypt. Today organic cotton is grown in over 22 countries. The leading countries in successful organic cotton production are:
1.India
2.Turkey
3.China
4.Syria
5.Tanzania
6.United States
7.Uganda
8.Peru
9.Egypt
10.Burkina Faso
Here are some facts about non-organic cotton (OTA):
•Cotton covers 2.5% of the world’s cultivated land
•Conventional cotton uses approximately 25% of the word’s insecticides
•Non-organic cotton uses more than 16% of the world’s pesticides
•Over 2.03 billion pounds of synthetic fertilizers were applied to conventional cotton in 2000 (142 pounds/acre), making cotton the fourth most heavily fertilized crop behind corn, winter wheat, and soybeans.
•The Environmental Protection Agency considers seven of the top 15 pesticides used on cotton in 2000 in the United States as “possible,” “likely,” “probable,” or “known” human carcinogens (acephate, dichloropropene, diuron, fluometuron, pendimethalin, tribufos, and trifluralin).
•The consumer suffers from chemicals in garments since non-organic cotton textiles irritate consumers’ skin, as they can also cause neurodermatitis (chemical residues stay verifiable even in the ready-made garment).
•Chemicals used in the cotton processing contaminate the environment and decrease it’s biodiversity.
