Many people consider cotton to be the purest fibre on earth.
In fact, cotton cultivation inflicts a heavy toll on the environment. This means they eliminate toxic chemicals in every step of the growing process, by emphasizing natural, biological methods which have far less impact on the environment. Imagining a world without cotton is like imagining life without corn, wheat or rice.

Marine life is killed, habitats are destroyed and drinking water supplies for humans and animals are contaminated.
