Eco-profile of conventional cotton vs organic

Here's a quick comparison made by EcoMetrics, comparing the Environmental Damage Units of two t-shirts, one made with organic cotton (top), the second made with conventional cotton. The reason the organic cotton t-shirt enda up with a higher score (which is not good), is because of the processes. This illustrates how complicated this issue is, and how detailed one has to look at the entire process; not just the raw-materials.
