Why (Organic) Cotton is King
What’s your underwear made of?
Are your tighty-whities:
A. Synthetic? Polyester, rayon, acrylic + nylon are comprised partly of plastic, are hard to dispose of + contribute to landfill waste. Even worse, synthetic waste byproducts pollute waterways.
B. Or is your underwear made of cotton? Because it’s grown, conventional cotton is bathed in pesticides, derived from genetically-modified seeds + originates in factories that pay unlivable working wages.
When it comes to our underwear, today’s guest offers a better way: Organic cotton.
My guest is Pact Apparel CEO Brendan Synnott. Brendan argues that changing your underwear – the fabric of your underwear, that is! – can change the world. He’s on the show to tell us why, exactly, organic cotton is better; he explains how the switch to organic is easy-peasy, too.
