If organic cotton were not so expensive for my social security income, and IF I could also easily buy t-shirts and slacks in it, I'd go all organic cotton.

My concern is that cotton farming is so hard on the land. It's my understanding that the defoliant used on the plants in the fields before the cotton bolls are picked is present in the soil for many, many decades after it is used. It seeps into our aquifers too. That is worrisome in my opinion.
