Every year we produce 29 million tonnes of cotton which is the same as 29 t-shirts for everyone on earth. It’s the world’s most commonly used natural fibre and people like it because it’s light, durable and breathable.
If you have a look through your wardrobe you can be sure that something in there will at least partly be made of cotton.
Cotton is actually a plant, the bit we use to make fabric is a fluffy white fibres that surround the seed, it gets picked, the seeds are taken out and then it’s spun into a thread.
But while cotton is a natural fibre and doesn't cause the same plastic pollution problems as some man made fabrics, it comes with its own issues...
This week on the vlog we've teamed up with our friends at the soil association to investigate current cotton production and the benefits of making the switch to organic.
To find out more about the soil association head to their website. Soil Association Certification certifies both GOTS and OCS in the UK - and so you may spot the SA Organic symbol alongside when buying organic clothing. This is the UK’s most recognised organic logo - it’s on 70% of organic food, health and beauty, fashion and textile products in UK

Loved watching this. I run an independent business focussing on organic cotton clothing from newborn up to adults. It's so important to make people aware of the choices around cotton and other areas of the manufacturing process. Christina : )
Very good information, most people don’t know really how much organic cotton changes the situation. This is why my favorite independent artists to buy from use organic cotton, organic bamboo and organic hemp.
I've learnt so much from this video. Thank you
Thanks so much for watching Amy!
I loved it and shared the video on the fb of our soapfactory: we only use oils certified by the Soil Association, and i love how that gets attention in this video too.. Keep up the good work :D Greetings from Amsterdam - Toetsie
That is so cool! Thank you for sharing and good luck with everything you are doing :)
Great interview! We are a small company connecting creativity and organic cotton t-shirts. cottonmarks.com
Love it. Thank you for making a video going a bit deeper. Important for spreading the knowledge
Hi Joy! Thanks so much glad you found it useful :)
Thanks a lot for your video! High quality information ! 👍
This was so informative! I was just looking for info on GOTS. Thanks!
Great interview and video thanks Phil Wheeler, from Organic Textile Company.
It would be great if you shared the studies that she talked about in the video. She says that organics use less water, she said that GMOs are not working and that the production of organics have bigger yields. A lot of statements that need scientific support. I hope she is right because it would be greath for the world, but that has to be proven. For now the least we can do is not buying cloth that we only use once a year.

I bought from Mashtato an organic Cotton T-shirt it was to be honest the best quality Cotton.😊

How can I get a list of pesticides and fungicide that can be used and still maintain organic status
Can I share this video or any of the video from hubbub on my company's website to raise awareness ?
Yes definitely, that'd be great. Thank you!
*12:15** "over 10, 000 farmers across India had commited suicide directly or indirectly as a result of GM crops" Yup never heard of that one in news media ever and you never will*
Depends on which news sources you follow.😮
Great information for many. Respect!

Loved the video and the idea behind your efforts. Let's take action together #Livetree #Fairweb #OrganicCotton
BEWARE! Bhumi Organic Cotton puts the burden of returns on customers. It costs hundreds of dollars to return items that don't fit, etc if you live outside of Australia. Bhumi has all comments turned off on TH-cam. So there's no way to post my warning directly on their channel.
When something is commercialzed, it's doing harm to the planet in most cases
Good
We are kickstarting organic apperal to preserve our environment, health and wildlife at www.kickstarter.com/projects/wildwea/wildwear
I'm garment manufacturing from India
Hello do u manufacture organic cotton ?
how about just in terms of personal health? why should I spend a ton of money on organic cotton clothes? if I can even find them?
GMO is not good for one's health (better than synthetic fibres for sure but still) organic cotton use no GMO.
Yeah $300 pair of jeans I stick with the regular cotton
what is organic cotton??? Your answer is not relevant & satisfactory....
And not a single word about the forced labour used to produce the cotton. Just water, GMs, pests, seeds, farmers.
If you aren't talking about forced labour then you are a complete hypocrite when you talk about organic cotton, making positive changes and being better for people.
Bit harsh mate, they had loads of useful information contained within the vid on organic cotton and why its important. Plus did touch on GOTs and Fairtrade and how they aim to make sure workers are treated fairly and paid a premium...
Not sure on how strict these companies are on implementing these regulations but props for trying to provide some useful info if you ask me
Hi, as an environmental organisation, we're careful to focus on the environmental sustainability of fashion where our knowledge sits. Though we do reference certifications like Fairtrade where there's more transparency and support for ethical production. The labour that goes into the fabrics created and the clothes we wear is a huge and important area that equally needs more awareness and action, and we fully support organisations like Fashion Revolution who are working towards this.
i dont care about the people around the world, i just dont want any crap in my garden
You are wearing a synthetic cloth and talking about cotton cloth
You must wear ghadi
Comment for statistics
what are the %'s... big name techniques or legitimate? like when something is 1% different... big names will put the percentage of that 1% into a percentage. still not "lying" but it is... are you pushing that same agenda whether for better or 'worse'?
