The Gap: Organic Cotton without breaking a sweat(shops)?
Gap just released its new organic cotton line, including t shirts and... oh wait, thats it, nice....
Big companies like Nike and Gap have very strict anti-sweatshop labor policies which they break all the time anyway, but I wonder if this new organic cotton "line" will break the rules as well? That would just be too horrible and ironic, "sweatshop organic cotton! pick it up at your local gap, dont worry, there are probably 3 in your local mall"
it all comes down to what people want more, pesticide free clothing or clothing produced by fair labor. of course ideally, we could have both, but big corps dont see it that way.
