Organic Cotton > Regular Cotton  

Water consumption

Organic cotton uses around 71% up to 91% less water than conventional cotton. With the help of better soil management, organic cotton farmers are able to have soils that have better water retention with the ability to withstand drought leading to less need for irrigation. 

Chemicals

Regular cotton is showered in pesticides and insecticides and various other chemicals which are both harmful to the growers and the surrounding soils leading to waterways. These chemicals are felt throughout the entire manufacturing process. Organic cotton never uses these types of chemicals.

Cotton Quality 

Organic cotton creates longer fibers during the process and is handpicked. These two factors lead to a softer and more comfortable fabric than the use of shorter fibers that are collected with machines. 

Air Quality 

Organic cotton produces around 46% less CO2. This is accomplished through crop rotations done by the farmers allowing the soils to absorb the greenhouse gases. This also means that nearly 61% less energy is needed to grow the crop!

When you purchase a product from Blue Reason this allows us to place funds into further initiatives that help tie together the public with opportunities for reducing, reusing and recycling. By creating a community of shared interest in keeping our planet clean, we have a better chance in slowing and even reversing negative climate effects. It takes a village and together we can do this!

You're absolutely right! As we continue to look for the best products to offer, our "I'd Rather Not Swim In Plastic" organic tote bag is our first product we have that allows for reuse and the reduction of plastic bags while out shopping or just a fun way to carry your items. Like a caterpillar, given time, it eventually flourishes into a butterfly and takes flight! 

At the current moment we do not ship internationally. As we continue making improvements, our focus will remain here in the United States. However, we are continually searching for ways to best reach all of our customers. 

It waves!
