The impact of cotton on the planet.
 The cultivation of cotton, organic cotton included, requires the consumption of huge quantities of clean water. The watering of cotton fields has caused important droughts in different areas of the Earth. The Aral sea, which used to be one of the biggest lakes in the world, dried up in 40 years due to the intensive cultivation of cotton.
