Listen moms and dads and of course grand parents – here’s a great opportunity to combine your purchase of infant toys with organic cotton baby apparel.
l. Organic here means baby cotton clothes made from organically produced cottons. There is no question that cotton baby clothes are better than baby’s clothes made petroleum based man made fibers . This is about taking it one step further …..
Why go organic when cheap babies’ cotton clothing is available from any number of big name stores? The simple answer is that organically made cottons are much safer for babies. In order to learn more, please read the articles about organic cotton clothes in my Publications section.
For a small price differential, not only does one get organic baby clothes made to last a long time but they get baby clothes made from material that protect their precious ones . They are also great hand-me-downs! The true cost of cheap clothes and other cheap products are usually not readily apparent unless one looks at the true cost of getting that product to a customer.. Here are two examples:
1. In 1999, a work crew re-entered a cotton field about five hours after it was treated with tribufos and sodium chlorate (re-entry should have been prohibited for 24 hours). Seven workers subsequently sought medical treatment and five have had ongoing health problems. (California DPR). So, what was the true cost if one was to sit down and calculate it?
2. It takes roughly one-third of a pound of chemicals (pesticides and fertilizers) to grow enough cotton for just one T-shirt. So, what was the true cost?
The idea about combining infant toys, organic cotton baby clothes and educational toys grew out of the fact that my basic baby needs site was receiving less exposure to moms, dads, children and grand parents compared to this site - my kids learning tree site. This was based upon how many times customers look for infant organic cotton clothing and children’s toys.
