Waves and Ripples, Water and Cotton

I use certified organic cotton for all of my soft toys and teethers - this is cotton that has been grown in the USA using certified organic methods, and processed in a American, certified mill. I am passionate about organics - organic food, organic clothing, organic bedding and personal products - and for reasons far greater than my own personal health and lifestyle choices.

Organic products make a positive and sustainable difference at every level of their production - from the kinds of seeds used, the methods of farming and harvesting, the processing and finishing, the actual making of the product, and now, in many cases, how products are even distributed and sold. Organic products are transforming the perception and understandings of traditional production practices and their global impact. For me, thinking about and buying organic products has revolutionized how I engage with all the products in my life.

Tomorrow is World Water Conservation day - this article is about the "Water Footprint" of conventional cotton farming, and how organic cotton farming is making a difference in water security. Be sure to click by their links at the bottom of the page for more inspiring information too.

I find it so exciting and empowering knowing that what I bring into my house matters. And I like that I can be part of making important changes happen - like helping to protect and conserve water - when I go organic.
