Did you know that approximately 25% of all pesticides used in the world are applied to cotton crops. Scary, huh? Especially when you consider than you spend 8 hours a night wrapped in that toxic residue. Did I get you thinking? Hope so.
There's no getting past the fact that organic sheets, the fibers of which are produced without toxic pesticides, are more expensive than conventional cotton sheets. The better brands and higher thread counts are a lot more expensive.
Have you heard that you get what you pay for? Think about your long term health, sleeping in those toxin-laced sheets and imagine your 60s, 70s...will you get there in good health? There is a compromise that could go a long way in the Eco-friendly direction. Bamboo.
Yep! Today they make fiber out of this fast-growing grass, a grass that needs little or no fertilizer and is extremely pest-resistant and drought tolerant. While you can buy organic Bamboo sheets, the all-natural ones are less costly and still quite Eco-friendly.
