It has a natural ability to breath and wick moisture away due to its porous nature. It actually keeps the wearer cooler by one to two degrees than someone wearing cotton. The cultivation of bamboo is ecologically friendly and requires no chemical pesticides or fertilizers. Hemp was considered such a vital resource in the early 1600’s that laws were passed ordering farmers to grow it. As opposed to cotton, hemp is one of the most environmentally friendly fibers in the world, requiring no pesticides, herbicides or fertilizers and very little water. Almost half of the agricultural chemicals used on U. S. crops are applied to cotton. Hemp exhibits eight times the strength of cotton, and fabrics made from hemp are more insulating, absorbent, and more durable than cotton. It is also hyper-allergenic and non-irritating to the skin.
Organic Cotton farming reduces the mass use of pesticides, chemicals and water. The chemicals used in conventional cotton production are some of the most harmful known to man. Every year new chemicals are created to spray cotton crops as the cotton plant, and insects that invade it, grow immune to the current chemicals used. Organic cotton still requires a great deal of water to grow. Turkey and the USA are the largest producers of organic cotton, however it still only accounts for .03% of the world's total cotton production.
