Worth around $30 billion every year, global cotton production could be improving lives. But both forced and child labour, massive use of toxic pesticides and overuse of the world‟s water means that cotton is creating misery for millions. EJF believes environmental security is a human right and campaigns for better clothing labelling that shows country of origin of the cotton fibre as well an EU ban on cotton products made by forced child labour.

Juliette Williams EJF Campaign Director says "EJF believes that the human rights abuses and environmental dangers associated with conventional production is too high a price to pay and calls on all buyers of cotton to “Pick Your Cotton Carefully” and choose organic, fairly traded cotton‟.

Betty Jackson CBE, Designer says 'We are delighted to be able to support this campaign in its very worthwhile fight against some of the terrible injustices that occur around the world. Exploitation of some of the most vulnerable groups in society, especially children, should not be allowed to happen in today's modern world.'

Luella Bartley, Designer of the Year 2006 in Elle and Glamour magazine, says, 'Cotton is something that we all take for granted, something that we all probably wear everyday without knowing the environmental damage and impact on poverty it has. I feel that we should all make an effort to be more conscious of where our cotton comes from'.

Christian Lacroix, Designer says 'It is the duty of the designer to be aware of such unbearable wrongdoings and to make the most people conscious of this fact. Using the simplest piece of clothing, but also the most universal, the T-shirt is certainly the most efficient way of publicising the plight of these children and act as a warning to consumers.'
