When it comes to clothes and cotton articles, there is a great advantage in choosing what is organically produced. Cotton is in itself a natural product that we can breathe in and that does not release microplastics into our aquatic environment. Unfortunately, cotton is also one of the most sprayed crops in the world, and the spraying tax can be harmful to health.
One of the biggest culprits in environmental pollution is plastic items, which is why you can now also find organic tote bags at Økofamily, which you can have under your arm when you need to shop or pack for a get-away. Cotton is enormously resource-intensive to produce, and in conventional production, large amounts of pesticides and water are used. If you are a family with small children, it is smart to prioritize organic production, because young children in particular are quite sensitive to the toxic substances in conventional production.
In addition to the fact that the organic tote bags are environmentally friendly and have a much smaller footprint on the environment than plastic bags, they are also more durable and cost-effective. At Økofamily we have beautiful, GOTS-certified products in various designs, sizes and patterns. You can also find smaller pocket bags that can keep all your tote bags together. It's a good idea to keep it in the car so you always have a tote bag ready for shopping or the like.
