Do I really need fair trade and organic cotton products for my home?

I get asked this question a lot, so here are a few ideas for you to consider as you make purchasing decisions regarding organic and fair trade
products for your family:

Q: Why would I prioritize organic cotton for bed or bathtime?
A:
Certified organic cotton  is farmed without the use of toxic pesticides, fertilizers and other
harsh chemicals typically used in growing conventional cotton.Fully certified organic cotton products  are also processed without bleach, chlorine, or harsh chemical softening agents and
are dyed with environmentally friendly water or vegetable based dyes. As a result, these products are much gentler on baby’s delicate skin than conventionally farmed and/or processed
textiles, and much softer as well. Considering that a baby spends up to 70% of her time asleep in …

Taking Action for Toxic Free Kids

I’m thrilled that the Toxic Free Kids Act was introduced in the WA State Legislature earlier this month
and is already moving thru the Senate Committees. I was honored to have the opportunity to testify alongside other concerned parents, grandparents and community leaders last week in the Senate and
House Environment Committee hearings. I’ll admit I almost didn’t make it to Olympia because of the abnormally large snowfall we had in the Seattle area, but am so glad the traffic and weather
cooperated just long enough for me to make it there and back safely.

Why do I care so much about this piece of legislation? I’m glad you asked!
