Most conventional clothes are made of cotton or other synthetic fibers. Synthetic fibers are produced using chemicals that are poisonous and are a burden on the environment. Cotton used for conventional clothes is grown using pesticides which are nothing but cancer-causing chemicals, such as, cyanazine, dicofol, naled, propargite, and trifluralin. During production, the conventional cotton fabric is exposed to highly toxic chemical baths and treatments and is then dyed using chemical-based synthetic dyes containing heavy metals. These synthetic chemical dyes can cause serious allergic reactions and side-effects especially to those with allergies, asthma, or multiple chemical sensitivities.

Though organic clothing feels expensive initially, it is actually worth its cost when compared to conventional clothing that wears down easily after 10-20 washes. Organic clothing does not break-down even after 100 washes simply because it was never subjected to any chemical abuse during its production. It lasts long, feels great on the skin and causes no side-effects or allergies. As parents, investing in organic clothing is wiser because it not only protects your children; it protects the farmers and the environment too.

Thanks to that one wise man that started the Green Revolution. Green is natural and organic is the natural way of life. We do need to make wise choices when it comes to making our lifestyles healthier and better; more so, when deciding about our children.
