Cotton is a wonderful wearable natural fiber. Clear white cotton is being considered pre-eminently as a natural product, but in fact it is more environment unfriendly than most synthetic fabrics. After coffee, cotton is the plant for which most pesticides are being used. Cotton growth is about 2,4 percent of all cultivated land, but uses 25 percent of all pesticides and 10 percent of all weed-killers. Furthermore chlorine is being used for bleeching and formaldehyde for the production. It takes roughly one-third of a pound of chemicals (pesticides and fertilizers) to grow enough cotton for just one T-shirt.

According as longer and more pesticides are being used, insects become resistent and are even more and more poisonous pesticides needed. Earth pollution and erosion are the effects of frequent use of chemicals and fertilizers. It can even be that worse that land becomes unsuitable for agriculture.
