The production of organic cotton is critical in our efforts to protect our planet’s health–and all its inhabitants. Utilizing organic methods of farming benefits the earth, farmers, and consumers alike. It reduces the risk of fatal pesticide poisoning for farmers and their families, while simultaneously reducing water and soil pollution.
Spraying crops with chemicals affects the surrounding communities (and all life forms) as the chemicals drift through the air wreaking havoc on everything it comes in contact with. Scientists have concluded that at least 7 out of 10 pesticides (found of the EPA’s list) are known carcinogens–or cancer causing agents.
Still, during the transformation of plant to fabric, more toxins are applied (for various and unnecessary reasons) which are then absorbed through our skin while we adorn our bodies with these unnatural fibers. It actually takes about a third of a pound of synthetic fertilizer to farm the needed amount of cotton to create only one adult sized tee shirt!
It’s for these reasons that small businesses–such as www.organicallygrowngroup.com must be supported by all consumers far and wide! Organically Grown is a company committed to providing only consciously created, earth friendly, cotton products–and I applaud their endeavors!
I recently had an opportunity to review an outfit for my daughter from Organically Grown. It’s an adorable little 2 piece set called “Think Green Tee Set”. The shirt has darling little capped sleeves with an appliquéd bird and a tree, while the bottoms are sort of knicker style with bowties on the hem. It’s super cute, ultra soft and wonderfully cozy. My daughter adores it! And I am positively thrilled with the quality of this outfit–and beyond thrilled in knowing that I am not causing unnecessary harm to my child’s health when she’s wearing these fun clothes.
We are existing in a time when our awareness about environmental pollution is undeniably crucial to our well being–but mostly to our planet! In an effort to assure a healthier world for ourselves and future generations, Organically Grown is dedicated to supporting the principles of organic farming–and I support them!
