Despite cotton's image as being a pure and natural fiber,
conventional cotton farming takes an enormous toll on the
air, water and soil. In the United States, 1/3 pound of agricultural
chemicals are typically used in the production of a single
cotton T-shirt. Just over 2 % of the world's arable land
is planted with cotton, yet it accounts for 24% of the world's
insecticide use, making it the most pesticide intensive crop
grown on the planet . The pesticides and synthetic fertilizers
used on cotton, contaminate ground water, surface water,
and pollute the water we drink. Our choice to use organic
cotton was an important one. We could have saved money and
used traditionally grown and processed cotton, but we know
that by going the extra mile and using organic cotton we
are helping make an enormous contribution to our precious
planet and all of our families. We are sure you will love
the natural look and feel of our certified organic cotton.
You can have peace of mind knowing that you and your baby
are sleeping on pesticide free, chemical free , organic cotton.
