🍃Do you know that conventional cotton is considered the dirtiest crop in the world? It is responsible for 16% of insecticides and 7% of pesticides on the planet! 🙈
While there are those who keep intoxicating us and the polluting world, it is up to us to not feed this unsustainable system.
Avoid conventional kid clothing made with petroleum-derived material or conventional cotton.
❌ Synthetic clothing: made of polyester, nylon, acrylic, spandex, rayon, or polyamide. This clothing is not only toxic for you but also releases 9MILLION plastic microfibers into the ocean every time we wash it. They make up 35% of the primary microplastics found in the oceans!
❌ Conventional Cotton: Avoid conventional cotton of any kind. Any cotton brand without the Organic Certification seal is considered conventional = toxic.
Cotton is considered the world’s dirtiest crop due to its heavy use of pesticides. Conventional cotton requires farmers to purchase seeds every year from AG chemical companies like Monsanto.
Roundup Ready Cotton (RR Cotton) has been genetically modified to survive the herbicide weapon called glyphosate Roundup, invented by Monsanto. This resulted in predictable consequences of stronger weed resistance to glyphosate, which in turn led to an increase in pesticide use. The glyphosate rate of application per crop year has tripled on cotton farms.
Avoid greenwashing kids’ clothing made by brands that pretend to be organic, sustainable, non-toxic, or eco-friendly when they are not. They will use their marketing trick to convince you to buy their products.
❌ Greenwashing Cotton: Even if they claim “organic” or “natural” cotton, if they don’t display the GOTS Certified seal, they may have something to hide. These terms are not regulated. Brands such as H&M and Gap claim the cotton in their baby clothing to be organic without proving it. Carter’s seems to mention the certification, but I would like to see it.
✅ Safer Cotton: GOTS Certified Organic Cotton.
GOTS is the worldwide leading textile processing standard for organic fibers, including ecological and social criteria.
The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) was created to set criteria for how fibers and textiles must be ginned, knitted, woven, dyed, manufactured, and labeled.
🍃By choosing only GOTS Certified Organic, we are sending a clear message to the toxic and greenwashing cotton companies: their marketing strategies are not working with us. By not supporting their brands, we are reshaping the market for better and more responsible products. 🌎
✅ The Fair Trade Certified Factory: logo means these brands partner with Fair Trade Certified™ factories that provide safe working conditions, community support, and additional development funds to those working on-site. A Fair Trade Certified™ product is made according to rigorous social, environmental, and economic standards.is a way to make a conscious choice for a better world.
I am determined to support only companies that care about us and the planet. Here you can find my favorite GOTS Certified Organic cotton brands.
