Why Organic Cotton? A Scary Fact Might Just Answer That Question

With so much more information about the toxicity of agrochemicals, the hospitality industry is becoming more aware of the importance of going Green. We at Boca Terry know about the importance of natural fibers and fabrics, and offer some of the finest selections in organic cotton bathrobes in the market today.

Commercial Cotton Facts

Some shocking news regarding commercially grown cotton is that that they are responsible for one quarter of all the agrochemicals used today. This means that cotton comes in second to corn as the most toxic product in the United States.

Facts from the Environmental Protection Agency reveal that seven out of the top 15 pesticides used on cotton are potentially carcinogenic. When you think of how these chemicals are absorbed into our water tables, air, and soil, it is easy to understand how our environment has become so compromised.

Environmental Responsibility

When it comes to flora and fauna, we are surely suffering from the overuse of these toxins. Ecosystems are not what they use to be, and we believe that everyone must take responsibility for moving forward in an environmentally responsible way.

Absorption of Toxins Through the Skin

As the largest organ of body, our skin absorbs everything it comes in contact with. As the skin breathes, toxins pass into our system, especially if our health is not in top condition.

Stronger Toxins Made as Insects Resist

With insects becoming more resistant to pesticides, stronger toxins are constantly being manufactured. Wildlife is compromised and so are we, as most of the cotton we use for our bedding and clothing has been treated with deadly products that can do nothing but fortify the commercial cotton makers.

Respect for Natural Cycles

At Boca Terry, we are looking at these facts along with rest of hospitality industry. In service to a healthier world, much of our product line is made with an eye to responsible farming, with crop rotation and respect for natural biological cycles that produce toxin-free cotton.
