If 10,000 NY Biters wear a dress shirt made from organic cotton instead of regular cotton, we'll avert the weight of 41 shoppers in pesticides from dumping into the environment.
Only 40% of harvested cotton plants are used for fabric - the remaining 60% are used to make cottonseed oil, a common snack-food additive.
