Conventional cotten contains pesticides.
Organic cotton does not contain pesticides.
Conventional cotton is grown in 19 American states.
Organic cotton is grown overseas in Turkey, India and China.
Conventional cotton is inexpensive to produce.
Organic cotton costs 2 to 3 times as much to produce.
Convetional cotton uses chlorine and urea-formaldehyde for bleaching of the fibers.
Organic cotton uses all-natural oils and hydrogen peroxide to bleach the fibers.
