23. return to "harsher" methods" ?
Cotton already is notorious for using more insecticides than any other crop.

How much more toxic can you make it? And on top of that, factor in all chemicals that manufacturers are adding to cotton clothing in order to make it wrinkle-resistant and stain-resistant. We're drowning in poisons here.

What about alternatives? For example, hemp. But then, that would make too much sense and not enuf cash for the cotton barons.

"Hemp requires no pesticides, no herbicides, and only moderate amounts of fertilizer".
