Go organic (cotton) or the sheep get it

If you needed another reason to go with organic cotton (non-organic cotton engenders massive pesticide use, which ends up on your body, as well as in the environment) check this out. Goats and sheep in India grazed GE cotton land and died. The disease is unknown and the only link identified so far is that they noshed the stubble, and 4-5 days later they bloated up and died.

So let's revisit some organic cotton options: organic baseball tees from Terramar, organic cotton available from Tesco from company Green Baby, organic fair trade shirts from glo4life, Bishopton Trading organic shopping bags - even organic skater gear from Howies. So be safe: go organic. [GT]

This story is mixing arguments. Non-organic cotton does not imply Genetically Engineered cotton. The only link is that Monsanto claims the deaths could have been due to pesticide residues.
