The cotton movement is green and growing— literally. Cotton is an all-natural resource that uses sunshine, air and soil to produce fibers that become the shirts, jeans, totes, textiles and other personal items we love. Plus, cotton growers have been reducing their need for pesticides and irrigation water over the past 25 years. So while many industries are just starting to go green, cotton’s green movement started a long time ago. Follow these inspirational tips and begin your own green movement by adding more all-natural cotton into your life.

Be comfortable and stylish, naturally. Cotton is more than just a great green option. It also breathes beautifully, feels soft next to the skin and looks fabulous. So update your closet with new cotton clothes. It’s a shopping spree you can feel good about!

More cotton, less plastic. What’s the biggest green must-have of the season? An oversized cotton tote to use (and re-use) instead of plastic bags. Whether you’re going to the farmer’s market, bookstore or beach, cotton totes are convenient, available in several chic shapes, sizes and colors, plus they keep plastic bags out of our landfills. Grab one and start re-using today!

Refresh your space. Instead of throwing away your old sofa and other furniture—or spending money to buy new pieces—make the old new with fresh cotton covers. Brighten up a room with a crisp, white sofa cover. Drape a cotton cover over an old chair or table for an fresh update, or use bright cotton pillows to add a splash of color to your space.

Sunny days and soft cotton. Summer is a breath of fresh air, so get outside and celebrate the gorgeous weather with good friends and the exceptional versatility of cotton. Throw your cotton bikini, cover-up or sarong, wide-brimmed cotton hat, sunscreen, light snacks and a queen-size cotton sheet into your tote and head to the beach. Spread the sheet out for a large, super-soft beach blanket that keeps the sand at bay and enjoy the surf and sun.
