our chemical breakup
Thursday trivia time. What do pesticides like chlorpyrifos, herbicides like defoliants, and nitrogen-based synthetic fertilizers have in common? They’re alllll often used to grow cotton. And they can hurt people and the planet.
Buying clothes made with organic cotton and sustainable materials can help you keep harmful chemicals out of your life. Take Outerknown’s jumpsuits. They’re made with organic, recycled, and regenerated fibers. Plus they’re super comfy, flattering, and versatile enough to wear lounging around or for a night out. All-in-one outfits ftw. Did we mention Skimm’rs get 20% off? Don’t mind if you do…
