It's so easy being green...
People ask for products produced with respect for our environment.

    Organic cotton is grown using methods and materials that are ecological, economical and socially sustainable and have the lowest impact possible on the environment. Organic agriculture prohibits the use of toxic and persistant chemical pesticides and fertilisers, as well as genetically modified organisms.

    To maintain the consumers' trust in the term "organic". third-party certification organisations verify that organic producers use only methods and materials allowed in organic production. Hanes organic cotton is certified by OE (Organic Exchange), www.organicexchange.org.
