I get nuttier and nuttier about the environment as my children get older. I wish I had been nuttier about it when they were younger too - but it’s never too late to start. We’re trying to learn how to make Baby Fabulous a green company too, and we’re starting by offering 100% Organic Cotton baby clothes. Organic cotton isn’t just a trend, it’s a farming practice that makes a difference for our planet - which really means a difference for our BABIES.

Here are the top five reasons to purchase Organic cotton baby clothes and baby gifts:

1. Organic cotton is grown without pesticides
   Organic cotton uses no pesticides, while conventional cotton accounts for up to 25% of the world’s consumption of pesticides.

(Did you know conventional cotton farming uses genetically modified seeds and even treats the seeds with fungicides and insecticides?)
2. Support organic cotton farming and rural farming
   When you purchase items made of organic cotton, you are supporting small family farms in rural communities. A good portion of organic cotton farmers are small farms and organic cotton production provides them with a means to compete with the corporate-owned farms to demand fair prices in return for offering a value-ad eco-friendly product.
3. Organic cotton is soft and safe against babies’ sensitive skin
   I personally love soft clothes on my babies and the organic cotton one-pieces and tees (available in at the b*Fab baby shop) are made of the softest cotton jersey. You’ll love the way organic cotton feels against your baby’s skin, and you’ll love knowing the purchase of that organic cotton makes a long-term difference for the world your baby will live in.
4. Improves overall health of the environment
   Seven of the top 15 pesticides used on U.S. cotton crops are potential or known human carcinogens, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. These leak into the soil and water. Conventional cotton uses fertilizers, less soil (weak soil), while organic cotton is based on rotating crops (strong soil). Oh, and organic cotton farmers don’t dump tons of pesticide on their labourers either!
5. Supports innovation and new research
   I read somewhere that many experts thought cotton couldn’t be grown organically. They have been proven wrong, and there are even standards in place now for what can be labeled “organic cotton” in the first place. As parents, aunts & uncles, grandparents and humans who care for the next generation, we need to support innovative methods of production, environment protection, and research - in turn supporting local economic development.

Purchasing Organic Cotton Baby Clothes is a simple, yet effective way, to take action to save the planet.
