Well, looks like it's been a rough time on the plantation. What with WalMart loving their organic cotton yoga pants and nike going for the green, the 'good' folks at Cotton Incorporated decided they need some ammo. And so they did what any swift boater or Exxon sponsored manipulator would do, they launched an info campaign. See they didn't like how WalMart said that the pesticides saved from the field because of 200,000 pairs of organic cotton pants could fill two airplanes. Now, most likely the numbers that these ninnys are complaining about are wrong, which sadly gives them the ammo they need. Look, conventional cotton uses too much water and way too much pesticides no matter what the numbers are, but by fudging them to make us look better you give them the fuel for Swift Boating the issue. Here's what they have to conclude "Organic is not sustainable in the sense that you can ramp that production up to meet the total needs of the market. Sustainability is not just about organic cotton. It’s about good production practices that are good for the environment.” so lets get our numbers right so they can stop doublespeaking and get with the program!
