When we trade one type of pollution to another, it’s not right in any respect, it’s still pollution. Shouldn’t be looking at new ways to manufacture rather than shifting manufacture types. I don’t know, it just doesn’t make sense to me.

the cotton may have been farmed organically but if you can sell a tee £4 ultimately some one pays and it’s not the customer organic is just organic it does not mean the workers in the factories are treated any better…

for me organic should mean fair treatment all through out the whole process.

not just the cotton…

any more takers for the band wagon?

Yes, shopping at Primark is definitely not the long term solution, but it is great to see people in that part of the market offering people these options.

I personally can't agree with the argument about saving money at Primark to spend on ethical goods, especially after reading Linda Sone's terrific article about the human cost of a cheap shirt, but I'm delighted that they are offering organic stuff too. So, is the organic stuff produced in a more ethical environment? I wonder whether the workers in the factories cutting/sewing these garments are treated any better than those who make the other stuff?
