The truth about conventional cotton; Cotton is perceived by most consumers as a "natural" product. It is really not natural at all. The Environmental Protection Agency (epa) considers seven of the top 15 pesticides used on cotton in 2000 in the United States as ?possible,? ?likely,? ?probable,? or ?known? human carcinogens (acephate, dichloropropene, diuron, fluometuron, pendimethalin, tribufos, and trifluralin). (EPA) Nearly 25% of all the world?s insecticides are applied to cotton crops at least 2-9 times per season and up to 20 times in some countries. Approximately 10% of all pesticides sold for use in U.S. agriculture were applied to cotton in 1997, the most recent year for which such data is publicly available. (ACPA) Eighty-four million pounds of pesticides were sprayed on the 14.4 million acres of conventional cotton grown in the U.S. in 2000 (5.85 pounds/ acre), ranking cotton second behind corn in the total amount of pesticides sprayed.(USDA) Over 2.03 billion pounds of synthetic fertilizers were applied to conventional cotton the same year (142 pounds/acre), making cotton the fourth most heavily fertilized crop behind corn, winter wheat, and soybeans.(USDA) These poisons contaminate our land, rivers and oceans. That?s all the reasons we need to buy organic. Choose organic, its better for you and our planet.
