9Planet Universe: A new fashion brand helps cotton farmers go organic

9Planet Universe is a trailblazer in the efforts of promoting the use of pre-organic cotton; a concept that assists in the elimination of hazardous pesticides and converting non-organic cotton farms to organic. This strategy, unlike other “green” contributions, provides the consumer with a solid vision of the aid they provide to the greater good.

What is pre-organic cotton, exactly? It’s the cotton grown at farms that are transitioning from conventional to organic farming methods. The conversion process usually takes 3 years — during which farmers have to deal with dramatically lowered harvests yet can’t get the price premium that certified organic cotton fetches.  The financial crunch posed by those transitional years keeps many farmers from making the switch to organic — which is where 9Planet Universe steps in. The new fashion brand donates proceeds from their limited edition tee to the farmers looking to transition to organic.

The 9Planet Universe brand features limited edition tees for men, women and children. Later this year, 9Planet Universe will be launching a line of pre-organic cotton tees, long sleeve shirts, cashmere hoodies and more.  For further information please visit, www.9planetuniverse.com/
