Why buy organic?

June 12th, 2009

I’m sure you’ve all heard a lot about organic food over the past couple of years. However, organic clothing is something slowly sneaking up in quite a few of the brands out there! I am very happy for the use of more organic clothing options and being able to carry a few at Silhouette is even better!!!
A couple reasons that I do love the use of organic cotton.
1.Regularly grown cotton uses 25% of the world’s insecticide and 12% of its pesticides, even though cotton is farmed on only 3% of the world’s farmland. Overall that’s a very negative impact on the environment.
2. Organic cotton is farmed without the use of insecticides and other chemicals.
While we don’t have the resources to always choose organic, I do think it’s nice to know that we have options to!

Here are a few organic items we carry!
