Cotton uses more pesticides than any other crop, accounting for nearly 25% of all pesticide use in the U.S.
The application of fertilizers and pesticides to cotton crops greatly impacts soil, water and air quality, more importantly many of the pesticides used are highly hazardous and can cause a number of health risks, including cancer and even death.
With less rigid regulations in developing countries, the health risk is likely far greater. Currently certified organic cotton only represents approximately .1% of all cotton grown in the world. By purchasing 100% certified organic cotton products, these statistics can change for a healthier, happier Earth.

I think the most exciting organic jeans i have found are from Good Society. They are hand-sewn, organic denim dyed with indigo. I have never felt so comfortable!!! They are truly an ethical company.
