9: Why cotton is so polluting (and why we only use certified organic cotton)

August 12, 2020 • Leonie from Gaia & Dubos • Episode 9

Did you know that traditional cotton is just as damaging to the planet as polyester? Its heavy use of water, pesticides and other chemicals makes it a highly polluting fiber.

It’s not because it’s natural that it’s eco-friendly. Far from that!

Listen to today’s episode to learn why and to be more equipped to recognize the right type of cotton (AKA organic cotton!).
