Why Buy Organic?
Organic Cotton
The next best thing for your baby
Organic farming means working with nature rather than against it. This is the guiding principle behind organic farming. Organic farmers use biologically-based, rather than chemically dependent growing systems to raise crops.
Why buy Organic Cotton?
The global cotton industry has a Worldwide Dark Side of which most of us are not aware as we fill our shopping bags with inexpensive cotton shirts from major clothing stores. Five of the top nine pesticides used on cotton are cancer-causing chemicals (cyanazine, dicofol, naled, propargite and trifluralin).
In the US, a 1987 National Cancer Institute Study found nearly seven-fold higher risk of leukemia in children whose parents used pesticides in their homes or gardens.
The World Health Organization estimates that at least three million people are poisoned by pesticides every year and 20-40,000 more are killed.
Over 1 million Americans will learn they have some form of cancer and 10,400 people in the U.S. die each year from cancer related to pesticides.
