We rest ourselves on the bed about 8 hours daily, so the use of organic duvet covers is very useful. The raw materials of these covers mostly come from cotton all over the world especially USA, Australia, some European countries, and some developing countries. The way of producing cotton can mainly grouped into two major parts: organic and inorganic or conventional. The reasons why you should go for organic duvet covers are describeed into the following 4 paragraphs. In 2010, a total of 101 million bales of cotton produced in USA leaving a great concern for humans because of the way of production. About 600,408 tons of pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, fertilizers, and other such chemicals were used to get 2.5 million tons cotton by 6 big cotton producing states of USA in 1992. If we count other cotton producing countries data, the amount of chemicals used stands on 6 million tons. Though, cotton is produced in only 2.4% cultivated lands, the use of chemicals sets on about 25%. If we use organic cotton, we can reduce the production and use of pesticides by 25%. About 90% of the pesticides used penetrate directly into the soil, air, and water, because plants can only use about 10% of it which is really alarming. It means that if we can produce cotton organically, we will be able to stop spreading 5.4 million tons chemicals into the air, water, and soil each year. In this case, we will be contributing to keeping soil productiveness, biodiversity, and reducing use of toxic materials. Isn't it sensible to use organic duvet covers and other similar products rather than inorganic cotton? The chemicals used in the conventional process remains in the cotton that is harmful for human and need to be removed before making any products. To remove the pesticides, chemical treatment is done with the help of some heavy metals and toxic astringents which also add to the cotton at the end. If chemical is placed on or next to skin, it is absorbed through pores and finally mixed with blood. If we do not utilize organic duvet covers while sleeping, we will absorb chemicals through our longest organ, our skin. As poor cotton farmers grow cotton manually, they are directly exposed to the lethal toxic materials every day. The result of a recent research depicts an alarming ending and the result is, "More than a million people a year in developing world are stricken with mild to severe poisoning from exposure to pesticides on cotton." At the end of day you have to think whether you will sleep with a sweet dream covered in your organic duvet covers or absorb toxic materials throughout the night.
