"Textile Exchange found that organic cotton compared to conventional has 46 percent reduced global warming potential, 70 perfect less acidification potential, 26 percent reduced soil erosion, 62 percent reduced primary energy demand, and a whopping 91 percent reduced blue water consumption."

Again, Ecouterre brings us the straight dope.  Quoted above, a comprehensive study proving once and for all that the production of organic cotton is so much better for the environment than conventional cotton production, finally.

I've been so busy filling orders I haven't been on the computer much.  And now... a post completely off the topic of fashion!  However, it is very Eco-centric, of course, of course.

What a beautiful website!  I want to live right there on that farm and ride a horse around all day.  Western CO is so spectacular and these photos totally do it justice.  It's time for a drink.   A votre sante!
