Organic Cotton Baby Clothes!

Ranked #39,431 in Healthy Living, #498,175 overall

Cotton is toxic to our planet, and harmful to our children; help us spread the word on organic baby clothes!

It is alarming to me that Cotton crops account for $2.6 billion in pesticides each year; for each pair of jeans being manufactured we are using 1 pound of pesticides, this is only the least of it. As the manufacturing process continues, there are many more harmful ingredients being added: petroleum, heavy metals, soil retardants, ammonia, and formaldehyde. Considering that a baby's skin is far more porous than the skin of an adult, makes our little ones that much more susceptible to having adverse health reactions. These harmful toxins have been linked to developmental damage, respiratory problems, leukemia, allergies, eye irritation, and nervous system depression.

Here is why we love organic cotton:

* Reduces the use of earth polluting toxins
* Higher quality fabric, organic cotton is far more durable
* Softer fabric
* Saves energy
* Supports sustainable agriculture practices
* Protects water quality
* Reduces the risk of Cancer in agricultural workers
* Invests in a sustainable economy
* Protects future generations, creating a healthy earth for our children

ORGANIC COTTON PICKS!

these companies are making a difference, and using organic cotton!

west elm has a beautiful selection of organic cotton items.OUR ORGANIC COTTON PICKS!

We love that people are choosing100% organic cotton; we are so passionate about spreading this all too important message. Did you know that conventional cotton manufacturing is one of the most polluting industries? When you buy organic cotton you are supporting: less earth pollutants, sustainable agriculture, fair trade, and investing in a sustainable economy.

BATH MATS - POTTERY BARN: (organic cotton), these are amazingly soft, great quality, and come in a beautiful array of earthy colours. Pottery Barn also has a full line of organic bedding, organic towels, and bedding for babies. When you choose organic cotton you are choosing a material that is long lasting, which is a great benefit for our earth (disposable items just end up in our landfills).

BEDDING - AMY BUTLER DESIGN (organic cotton). Gone are the days of unfashionable green products. Amy Butler brings a strong element of hip design to any eco friendly space; these are definitely going on my must have list. www.amybutlerdesign.com

FURNITURE - CISCO BROTHERS (organic cotton). Here is another great company that puts the word hip in green. Cisco is one of the first designers to create 100% FSC Pure sustainable upholstered furniture. This company uses certified woods, reclaimed hardwoods, water based glues, and environmentally friendly detergent to wash all of their fabrics.

JEANS - MAVI (organic cotton) molly collection. It is nice to see that clothing companies are starting to slowly jump on the organic band wagon. There aren't too many yet, but how great to see this Canadian company "Mavi Jeans" feature a few of their styles in organic cotton!

Choosing an eco friendly baby gift, for a mom to be is a wonderful idea. We have compiled a list of our favourite picks for a green baby shower. These items are sure to be a hit with the eco-consious and trendy mom.

1). RECYCLED DIAPER BAG: we love this environmentally friendly diaper bag! Fleurville uses recycled bottles to make their bags, totes, and wallets; each bag contains 6 plastic bottles. http://fleurville.com/

    With a new grandbaby (one of Vermont's newest citizens!) I'm a big fan of organics ... as I was with her mother. I'll be visiting the shop ... and lensrolling this to my baby clothing lenses.
