Why Organic?

When I tell people about my new organic cotton clothing line, Organyx by RachelAnne, the most common question they ask is, why organic?  How is organic cotton different from regular cotton?  The answers to these questions should be common knowledge.  Yet every day people don't know, making environmentally unconscious decisions due to ignorance.  My goal is to educate people on green living, holistic lifestyle or what I like to call, the Organic Revolution.  This encompasses everything from sustainable agriculture to green housing; earth friendly clothing to natural medicine.  Living modern lives with respect for the environment is the art of the Organyx Lifestyle.

Let’s get back to the question at hand.  Why organic?  What’s the difference between conventional and organic cotton?  The difference is that organic cotton is grown without pesticides and manufactured without chemicals.  Regular manufacturing practices leave cotton products, such as bed sheets, clothing, and towels with a chemical residue that washing alone will not remove.  This residue is absorbed by the skin or inhaled throught the lungs, negatively affecting the body.  On a larger scale, pesticide/insecticide use on cotton crops and chemicals used in manufacturing pollute the environment.  This pollution enters the soil, travels through our water supply, and ends up inside our bodies.  Over time, these chemicals have an array of negative affects on the body from decreasing fertility to causing cancer.

Our food supply is damaged due to pesticide and insecticide sprayed on crops.  Pesticide residue on produce cannot simply be washed away.  Some chemicals actually grow within the cells of the plants from years and years of residues building up in the soil.  By eating organic produce we reduce the amount of chemicals entering our bodies and the pollution in our environment.  This benefits human health and that of the earth as a whole.

The Organic Revolution suggests a needed shift in how consumer products are produced.  Organic farming is necessary to improve human health and sustain our environment.  Make a small shift with your purchasing power and start buying organic.  Individual efforts will add up over time.  We have to start somewhere.  Why not with some organic cotton clothing from my new line, Organyx by RachelAnne.
