・GOTcertification (Global Organic Textile Standard）

https://global-standard.org/

GotsIs the most reliable and complete certification1That's right. at least70It covers all textiles, manufacturing, packaging, labeling, trading, and distribution of all textiles made from % certified organic natural fibers. Textiles need to meet specific environmental standards (toxicity, wastewater, etc.) and social standards according to international labor agencies. There are various authentication organizations that can actually award authentication, but all use the same criteria. (You can search for companies that have acquired authentication on this site)

What will be certified?・・・All textiles (clothing, bedding, towels, and raw fabric and fiber)

Where is this label?・・・Internationally:GotsIs an international standard that works in cooperation with organizations around the world.

Gots authentication is "It is not a real GOTS authentication product" unless all suppliers have obtained GOTS authentication (all industries and processes, such as cotton farmer's spinning company textile maker dyeing factory, etc.) The original purpose is to pass the strict standards for GOTS authentication, including workers and companies, including "child labor and forced labor", "pesticides and genetically modified seeds", "dyeing and inks, buttons and threads, including workers and companies." However, it is a certification that is trying to solve a lot of social problems that are invisible to live in Japan because all products are traceability by Gots.

The following address is a site where you can check the GOTS certified supplier.

Click "Search Results" and "Search Results" on the "country" and "Country" of this site to the "Search Results" and "Search Results", and some companies will get GOTS authentication in Japan. The product made from a company described here is a "real GOTS product".

**********************************************************************

Currently, Japanese consumers say, "What is it? Organic cotton?"

Purchase products with "expensive prices" for clothes, towels, and textile products made of dough without standards.I think there are many customers who are。

Looking at the authentication status of Japanese food, "organicVegetables can be written without permission, and the word "organic" and the notation can be used without permission.(Not only for food but also for shampoos and cosmetics)In a situation where customers believe so much, Japan does not betray people, do not lie,ProductsSafe and secureIsn't consumer purchased from reality?

Then, "Organic cotton certification"GotsHow about authentication?

GotsIs from the abbreviation of "Global Organic Textile Standard". It is an internationally certified "organic fiber authentication".2006It is introduced in the year, and is supported by the "consumption and growth" of organic fibers and the request for the integrated "processing standard" of the industry and retail sector.

A problem related to the cotton farmer and cotton industry.

"Debt hell, pesticide pickles, suicide" What is the cause of the Cotton farmer in India?

 

One person in 30 minutes. Do you know what this is?

This is a number that calculated the number of people who commit suicide by an Indian cotton farmer. It's an incredible figure, but this shows that farmers are being cornered to make "cheap clothes" we wear.

At present, clothes are often manufactured overseas, so they may not feel close. But for that reason, there is no reason to look forward to these reality.

What is the cause, and the people of Indian cotton farmers fall into such a terrible situation? We are wearing fast fashion and we need to know.

 

It has not been such a terrible situation for a long time.

Previously, it was cultivated with natural fertilizer and insecticide, and it was well cultivated while turning seeds and turning it the next year. I used an insecticide, but the fertilizer was natural, so the soil was not so thin.

He says that there was a grant and a loan for farmers with the help of the government, and he earned enough to live. Children go to school and adults work on a farm. I was able to live such a natural life.

But now I can't even live that ordinary life.

The main materials of clothes are cotton (cotton) and chemical fibers. Chemical fibers are made from oil, so it is clear that valuable resources are wasted. However, cotton with the image of "natural things" is not very natural considering the actual situation of cultivation.

In 2016, the average life expectancy in India was 68 years old. However, it is said that the average life expectancy of cotton cultivation is only 35 years old.

Cotton cultivation has a poisonous part for the body, and cotton is one of the most toxic crops in the world.

Pesticides and insecticides are so toxic that they can drink and commit suicide, but in the cotton production process, 18 pesticides around the world.%, 25 insecticides%Is usedIt is said that。 If you look at this number, you can see how much cotton farmer is working in poison of "pesticides" and "insecticides".

Cotton is originally vulnerable to pests than hemp, etc., so many pesticides are needed, and as a result, the life of Indian people is shortened nearly 30 years old.That means.

However, we cannot quit cotton cultivation. On the contrary, it has to be cultivated more than before. In order to support "fast and cheap clothes", we need to harvest a large amount of cheap and moderate quality cotton, so we use a large amount of chemical fertilizer.

For that reason, it is a news of a cotton farmer in an Indian cotton farmer.

The situation worsened due to genetically modified cotton ...

It is said that this situation in India was created for genetically modified cotton.

Indian cotton is a company with most of itMDeveloped by the companyGM(Genetic modification) Cotton. Currently, the global market share of genetically modified crops is 90 % or moreMThe company occupies.

"Genetic modified cotton" introduced in 1996 "BTCotton was a dream for farmers.

• Insecticular components are originally incorporated, protecting themselves from pests, Otabakogoga larvae.
  = Reduces the cost of insecticide and does not require spraying chemicals, so it is environmentally friendly.

• The yield will be 5 times as much as before.

It was advertised like this. Farmers protect land, friendly to their bodies, and increases their income. You would have thought it was a good thing. Everyone thought that the price of the seeds was four times that of the past, and it was worth buying even if they borrowed. However, the reality did not work so well.

While using it, there is certainly no damage to the larva of the giant bakoga, but other new pests and dying diseases have occurred. As a result, a large amount of pesticides and weeding had to be sprinkled, and farmers were economically hit.

The herbicide used at that time is called "round -up"GMYou have to use the one that matches the species. Round -upGMDeveloped cottonMIt is sold by the company, which was more expensive than before, and farmers were further debt.

Surge to suicide after taking pesticides

Even if you borrow a lot of money, you will think that you can repay if the harvest is more than before.

The result is a terrible harvest, 1 of the harvest so far/It was about 4. And it didn't go back to the original species. Because most species on the market due to the measures of the Indian governmentBTBecause it was a seed。

And the cause of the accident is unexpectedly damaged, but originallyBIt was necessary to need a lot of water to make it a good harvest with T cotton.

However, since the rainfall in India is low, facilities are needed to secure water. There are less than 40 % of farms with its equipment. In this situation, there is no way to become a good harvest.

And there are already many debt hell farmers to prepare the equipment, and the resultBTCotton cultivated farmers have increased the number of suicides. People who take the herbicide "round -up" and commit suicide in the field will not stop.

Cotton farmers in Indian cotton farmers are 250,000 above 250,000It is said to be。

Most people take insecticides on the farm and kill their lives. Can you imagine that one person has died in 30 minutes?

Damage caused by herbicides and insecticides

The "herbicide / round -up", which is a suicide tool, is a very poisonous and needs to be strictly defended with masks and gloves. Nevertheless, in India, herbicides are scattered without masks or gloves as shown in the picture above. This does not mean that the human body has no effect.

Not only is the farm polluted because of a large amount of insecticides, but in the village, the number of children born with births has increased, and those who have been working on the farm have increased cancer. In addition, the number of people who become a brain tumor has increased, and brain surgery can be performed near the village.that's right。

It is thought that it is happening because it is inhaled while wrapping herbicides and insecticides on the farm or being taken in from the skin. It is also in the air and has a negative effect on people who are not near the farm.

 

It is not only India that grows cotton in the above situations.

According to one theory, the land used for cultivation of cotton is 20 % of the world's pesticides, despite less than 5 % of the world arable land area. If you use a large amount of pesticides, the soil will naturally be contaminated, which will go around and enter the sea, and the global environment itself will be contaminated.

 

Why is the cultivation amount increasing so much?

Cotton accounts for about half of the fiber used to make today's clothes, so the more clothes increase, the more cotton production increases. The result has created an Indian situation.

In addition, there was a shocking truth in something that was familiar. Cotton is a material often used in fast fashion. Cotton products are very difficult to know who they are and how they are and how the production and manufacturing process exceeds multiple borders.

It is said that there are many opportunities to cheat on the way because of the complex process.

Therefore, "cotton100It seems that the fake may actually be lost in products with display labels such as " %" and "Fair Trade products (fair transactions that do not exploit unreasonably from people in developing countries)". very100Some may use %, but some are not.If you know, consumers can decrease their desire to buy.。

Also in the display labelorganicAlmost cotton that is not described as "cotton"100It is said that it is a percentage of cotton cotton.

※BCIAuthentication (Better Cotton Initiative Certification) This authentication is said to be good using "genetically modified seeds".

When you check the display label, some people may buy only "organic cotton".

The reason is that organic cotton has the image that it looks good for your body and looks good. The price can be more than twice as much as ordinary cotton, and many people think that the higher the higher one, the better.

But organic cotton. In fact, the quality of ordinary cotton doesn't change that much. Many people will be shocked to this. "Why is the price so different with the same quality?" If it is not quality, what is the difference?

※If there is a difference, the fabric is not overloaded. Dyeing is also a dye that does not put a load on the human body naturally, so there may be differences in sensitive skin. What is the dye used for dyeing the clothes generally sold? Does it affect the human body? There is no evidence, and there may be differences if those who wear chemical fibers or atopic skin are worn.

※actuallyGotsTo get the authenticationGotsYou must pay the authentication agency in proportion to the quantity and amount of authentication products. Therefore, the price is higher than the general cotton, and the sewing and dyeing costs are higher than the general cost.

Comparing organic cotton and ordinary cotton residual pesticides, the amount is almost the same. Ordinary cotton uses pesticides at the time of cultivation, but pesticides used when growing are almost disassembled over time, and there are few things left in the last cotton.

In other words, it is not scientifically determined by organic cotton and ordinary cotton.

• The quality does not change.

• The residual pesticide does not change.

In that case, there is no reason to buy organic cotton until you give a high price. Many people think that they are cheaper. In other words, the only perception that organic cotton is a good thing is the image from the word "organic".

If so, why are you making organic cotton until you have to work?

 

It was an environmentally friendly cotton

Organic cotton is not made to improve quality, but is created to preserve the global environment for land. In other words, it is an environmentally friendly cotton.

We use pesticides and chemical fertilizers for ordinary cotton cultivation. Doing so will cause groundwater pollution and microorganisms will disappear, and the soil will be thin. Good crops do not grow in thin soil. Later I will be able to strangle my neck

Organic cotton, on the other hand, grows pesticides and fertilizers without using as much as possible, so both the soil and the environmentMr. Miss.It is a good way to health. It is also expected to reduce carbon dioxide reduction.

The earth has regained energy, water, air, earth, people,LivelyIdeally, you can live. Isn't organic cotton the first step?

If you look only at the quality as a use side, a normal cotton is enough. But think once if it's really okay.

If the demand for ordinary cotton is gone, I think that organic cotton cultivation will increase naturally. In that case, you may think that only cotton that is good for the environment and health remains, and you have done more expensive shopping than the price and quality.

 

The original purpose of organic cotton is ...

Protect people who make cotton. And while protecting the natural environment such as soil pollution and water pollution,

"Protect all people" and "do not burden the natural environment as much as possible", including cotton making, carriers, dyed people, spinning, sellers, and users.GotsI think it is the purpose of authentication organic cotton.
