We are increasingly looking at the footprint of our way of life on the environment. Thank you! Today I have learned that almost a third of the pesticides used in the world are used for cotton production (Gossypium spp.). Cotton? How could I read it!
The main use of current cotton is clothing. We eat a lot with clothes. Buy them at a modest price and after putting them three times, dispense with a new one. The key is not to have to wear a new one. The key is that what we have at hand is sold at a low price. The price allows cotton clothing to have no value. Cotton is low and the workforce is slave.
Some clothing industries are aware of the importance of value. Hemp fibre (Cannabis sativa subsp sativa) has been known in the textile industry for a long time and its work is gaining more and more strength.
Others use recycled plastic bottles to create fabric and make clothes. Plastic garments. These are the barrels of another barrels. But they deserve a little more in-depth examination. In fact, whoever wants to give a concrete look today (mountaineer, sportsman...) needs a plastic suit. The plastic that you release every time you wash that garment causes extraordinary pollution in the water. But they're not plants ...
In Austria, the fabric is made from beech fibre (Fagus sylvatica). They've been working on it for years, and it all points to the fact that it has a very hard future. It looks more and more. If you've paid the one worth the underpants you're wearing, maybe it's beech fabric.
A lot of people wearing plastic pants on the mountain wore their first drink of blue cotton. Well, in order to preserve the environment, comes the jean made with safety fabric (Urtica dioica). Created by the French company Velcorex-Matières, the Police is looking for the production company Asun on its way through France. In our wet soils it's easy and you don't need pesticides, you don't have to try. They have dressed and done enough to try it out. You won't get your thigh flushed...
