Are you Green Parents? Then you should be aware that cotton is the most eco-hazard crop in the world. Around 25% of the total insecticides and pesticides are used in cotton plantations. Approximate estimation tells that round one pound of synthetic fertilizers are used to produce three cotton shirts. As if that were not enough the garments, once produced, need to undergo a synthetic dye treatment to preserve their febricity and whiteness. These dyes are not only eco harmful but also cause long-term problems to the wearers' skin, anything from asthma to cancer.

Keep your baby safe! Keep it away from synthetic cotton products! So what other alternative is there? Organic cotton baby clothes offer a good solution. Organic cotton does not have the same production rate as that of conventionally produced cotton. It presently takes up only 1% of the cotton manufacturing industry. It uses organic fertilizers and dyes that are eco friendly and are safe on the wearers' skin. But with such limited production, it is only obvious that Organic cotton baby clothes are much more expensive and hence far less affordable.

Organic methods of production ensure soil fertility and lead to a biologically sundry agrarian system. Standards need to be met and maintained and for this purpose the cotton plants are tested regularly. Inspections on soil and water processing are frequently made. Cotton thus produced does not depend on synthetic fertilizers and pesticides.

Organic cotton baby clothes are fast taking over the market and giving the organic cotton industry its required boost. A main reason for this is the infants' sensitive skin which is prone to infection and allergies from synthetic cotton. Plus, organic cotton baby clothes are also softer. The only problem- the price! However the demand for organic cotton is increasing. The previous year saw a 15% rise in the production scale. It can only be hoped that at this rate the cotton manufacturing will soon be revolutionized.
