Buy organic cotton

I was reading my WWF (the wildlife group, not the wrestling) newsletter and came across this startling statistic: cotton production accounts for 25% of insecticide use worldwide! That's huge!!!

I've recently purchased some casual clothing from MEC and have to admit that this year, they came up with a nice selection of organic clothing. For example, follow this link to see some travel clothing for women. There are many nice items made of organic cotton. Prices are reasonable and, considering the environmental impact of traditional cotton farming, how does it not make sense?

    Hey!

    This does not make sence, probably produced in China, underpaid or by children. I bought some organic pieces at www.online-chic.com and it is not cheap, but it is produced in europe and the quality is great. Take a look!
