What Can You Do to Clean up Cotton in California?
• Buy locally grown cotton products. If they are not available, contact your favorite company and ask for Cleaner Cotton™.
• Request Cleaner Cotton™. When garments are labeled with a blend of 5% organic cotton, ask about the other 95% and request that it be Cleaner Cotton™.
• Advocate for local fiber production. When purchasing cotton, ask where the fiber comes from. How many miles did it travel to arrive here in your hands?
• Educate yourself. Sign up for a Sustainable Cotton Project farm tour and visit Cleaner Cotton™ farmers in California. Learn about cotton production first hand!
• Write a letter to the editor. Write an article in your local newspaper about the importance of Cleaner Cotton™ and California-grown organic products to your community.
• Vote with your purchasing power. Support local farmers in all your purchases – both fiber and food! |
