Here’s an interesting fact:
A quarter of a pound of pesticides and other agricultural chemicals are used to produce one cotton t-
shirt! Many of these chemicals are known carcinogens. We’re talking about "non-organic” cotton, the
kind we all typically buy in the store. In addition to the chemicals used to grow the cotton, most often
chlorine bleach, formaldehyde, and high-impact dyes are used to complete the production process. When
we purchase and use or wear this cotton we expose ourselves and our children to much of these
chemicals.
Ragaboo is dedicated to supporting organic agriculture (and organic everything, really). Our cotton is
certified organic which means it is free from synthetic chemicals that can potentially harm our land,
water, animals, and ourselves. This is particularly important when we’re talking about our children.
INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT OUR COTTON:
Certified organic: Did you know that 25% of the world's pesticides are sprayed on cotton? Rest assured
that this tshirt will NOT contribute any synthetic chemicals to our lovely Mother Earth (OCIA International
organic certified.)
Saves energy: Planes and tractors are not used to chemically fertilize cotton plants.
Higher quality fabric: It's more durable as the cotton plant itself is stronger and longer lasting. Organic
cotton is softer, too.
Protects our water: According to the Environmental Protection Agency, pesticides (some carcinogenic)
contaminate groundwater in 38 states.
Hypoallergenic: Those who are sensitive to chemicals don't need to worry about harmful toxic residues.
Free from GMO's: That means the cotton seeds are not genetically modified or engineered. In other
words, they are natural seeds just as nature intended them to be.
IT'S JUST BETTER!
