🌎 Synthetic clothes made of polyester, nylon, acrylic, spandex, rayon, or polyamide.

These clothing release 9MILLION plastic microfibers into the ocean every time we wash them. They make up 35% of the primary microplastics found in the oceans!

We can choose organic and natural fiber such as cotton but not just any cotton, GOTS Certified Organic Cotton

 

Here is why:

​

Cotton is considered the world's dirtiest crop. 

There are few powerful individuals that take advantage of something that is shared with the rest of humanity for their own interest and that is the planet! 

​

Roundup Ready Cotton (RR Cotton), has been genetically modified to survive the herbicide weapon called glyphosate Roundup, invented by Monsanto. Resulting in predictable consequences of stronger weed resistance to glyphosate, which in turn led to an increase in pesticide use. The glyphosate rate of application per crop year has tripled on cotton farms. 

We can either wait for the institutions to act to protect us or we can take action to change the system by not feeding the wallet of these toxic and extremely wealthy companies.

​

While there are those who keep intoxicating us and the polluting world, it is up to us to not feed this unsustainable system.

I am determined to support only companies that care about us and the planet and share them with you!

​

Here is what you can do:

❌ Conventional Cotton: Avoid conventional cotton of any kind. Any cotton brand without the Organic Certification seal is considered conventional = toxic.

​

❌ Greenwashing Cotton: Even if they claim “organic” or “natural”  cotton, if they don't display the GOTS certified seal, they may have something to hide.

​

We can either wait for the institutions to act to protect us or we can take action now with our wallets to change the system. 

We can start now to protect our health and the health of the planet by not feeding the wallet of these toxic and extremely wealthy companies.

 

While there are those who keep intoxicating us and the polluting world, it is up to us to not feed this unsustainable system.

How? Here is what you can do:

​

✅ Safer Cotton:  GOTS Certified Organic Cotton. 

GOTS is the worldwide leading textile processing standard for organic fibers, including ecological and social criteria.

The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) was created to set criteria for how fibers and textiles must be ginned, knitted, woven, dyed, manufactured, and labeled. 

Get familiar with the logo, spot it on  👗clothing, bed sheets, kitchen towels, 🧖‍♀️bath towels, linen, 🧦socks, robes, pajamas,

👩‍🍼baby clothes, and more.

 

 

By choosing only GOTS Certified organic, we are sending a clear message to the toxic and greenwashing cotton companies: their marketing strategies are not working with us. By not supporting their brands, we are reshaping the market for better and more responsible products.🍃 

​

We are telling the companies (the ones with only financial goals in mind) we won't pay for their toxic or misleading products, that we demand better: more transparent and eco-conscientious products made with respect for the environment!

 

I am determined to support only companies that care about us and the planet. 🌎
