Cotton, I’ve often heard, is one of the worst crops for the environment, thanks to the tremendous amount of chemical pesticides often used for its cultivatation and harvest.
Still, it never really bothered met to buy non-organic cotton, which is most of what’s on the market. Then I saw this “More Than Pretty Knickers” video, which made me never want to buy non-organic cotton ever again.
It’s a Victoria’s Secret-like runway panty show that starts sexy and sleek but ends with a chemical-warfare vibe, including statistics of conventionally farmed cotton’s brutal effects on the globe.
In addition to statistics about the amount of toxins used to produce planet-pounding panties, you’ll also find sources for eco-friendly undies.
Note: This video, sponsored in part by eco-friendly fashion companies, is probably NSFW (Not Safe for Work), depending on your workplace, thanks to a short strip show and some bare buns.
