Why Organic Cotton?

Just because you don’t eat your grocery totes doesn’t mean organic isn’t important. The cotton plant requires some of the most intense pesticide and fertilizer regimes of any plant. Although only about three percent of the world’s arable land is used for cotton, it uses about a quarter of the world’s pesticides and fertilizers. That’s about one-third of a pound per bag. These organic cotton grocery totes mean that you are not only saving those chemicals from leaching into our groundwater, but are supporting sustainable agricultural practices.
