Why is Organic cotton better for the environment than conventionally grown?
Conventional cotton requires 25% of world’s chemical pesticides. Reports suggest that one to two million’ birds are killed annually by carbofuran, just one insecticide used on cotton.
Conventional cotton is also a major user of toxic herbicides, fungicides and defoliants. During processing, it is subjected to chlorine bleach, heavy metal dyes and formaldehyde resins. This is a major hazard to the environment.
Compared to this organic cotton have a lower carbon footprint and consumes less fuel and emit fewer greenhouse gases.
No chemical pesticides are used in organic farming. It also helps to reduce water wastage, electric and toxic run-off.
Also, the health hazards caused due to the chemicals, on the workers, are greatly reduced by organic farming.
So, organic cotton is much better for the environment than the conventional cotton.
