Why does it matter that they are organic?
It may surprise you to learn that the humble cotton plant uses more pesticides per plant than almost any other plant in the world. In fact, 22% of all insecticides and 20% of all pesticides in the world are used in cotton growing. This causes problems to the local environment to where the cotton is grown, killing off good bugs and plants as well as the bad causing an ecological imbalance.
Moreover, they are extremely dangerous to people. In fact, around 25,000 deaths a year are supposedly caused as a result of working with these chemicals!
Why not investigate our 100% organic cotton wool?
As a thank you for shopping with us and helping to support ethical business, we’ll plant a tree in the tropics on your behalf through our charity partner TreeSisters.
We’ll do this every time you shop with us, at no extra cost to you.
UK consumers made 39.4 billion payments in 2018 – if a tree were planted for every one of those transactions things would change very quickly. We want to show other companies – and you – that it’s not difficult to do things differently.
One day it will be as normal to give back as it is to take. Until then, when you shop with companies that don’t embed restoration into your transactions, you can plant a tree yourself every time you buy something! (It costs much less than you might think…)
Thank you for caring and for your support. You’ve just changed the future.
Katie and Jarvis
