That’s right.
How cool is that?
2 million plastic bottles are used in the U.S. every 10 minutes.
51 billion plastic bottles go into U.S. landfills every year.
Recycling pre-consumer cotton helps to keep 5 billion pounds of waste from going into U.S. landfills.
It takes 1/3 lb of agricultural chemicals to produce 1 cotton t-shirt.
Cotton consumes 60% of the insecticides applied in the U.S.
Recycled cotton doesn?t take the manual labor or land use that is required for conventionally grown cotton.
It takes twice as much land usage to produce the same amount of organic cotton as conventionally grown cotton.
Some very sobering facts that I was definitely not fully aware of.
