Our theme is Orgabric, which is a combination of organic fabric. Our idea is inspired by environment protection campaign. Organic cotton is generally understood as cotton and is grown in subtropical countries such as America and India, from non genetically modified plants, that is to be grown without the use of any synthetic agricultural chemicals such as fertilizers or pesticides. Its production also promotes and enhances biodiversity and biological cycles. Organic fabric was creating in an effort to provide an environmentally friendly cotton alternative to be quilting and crafting community. The most notable different between organic cotton and regular cotton is that organic cotton is growing without the use of harmful pesticides. The traditional cotton is accountable for almost 25% of all chemical pesticides used in agriculture. And with nearly 50% of the textile market using cotton, that is a lot of chemical going into our earth and therefore, inevitably over time is increase green houses grasses and pollution to our earth.

 

We believe that with proper care, organic cotton will actually last longer than regular cotton because it has not been subject to chemical and metals, the inevitably alter the quality of cotton. Thus, the organic fabric is suitable for people who skin allergic to the regular cotton.

 

There are many people prefer to wear 100% cotton products or use them in their homes, rather than synthetic fabrics.

There are many reasons for this:

• Lightweight and breathable, which helps regulate body temperature in hot weather

• Hypoallergenic, making it an excellent choice for people with sensitive skin

• Naturally soft

• Dust-mite resistant - for people with asthma and allergies, it's the first choice for linens and other bedding, as well as clothing

• The only fiber that becomes stronger when it's wet

• Biodegradable, renewable resource

 

We will use several ways to promote our organic product like name card, TV commercial, print advertisement, electronic advertisement and more. Besides that, we will try to contact WWF of Malaysia about our idea for planting cotton in our own country in organic way. If our idea can approval by WWF then the all the organic cotton product will be more cheaper because we don’t have to imported raw material for foreign country. Organic cotton is currently being grown successfully in many countries. The largest producers are Turkey, India and China

 

Our goal is to bring you a really good stuff and healthy life and on the other hand we want to reminds people about environment protection. We only got one earth!
