A recent radio story reported on how today's rock stars no longer trash hotel rooms. Now they compete to see who can promote the most environmental causes. With a Rockin' Baby Organic Sling, your rockin' baby can help save the earth like a rock star!
Why spend the extra money on an organic sling when it's pricey enough to buy organic produce? Cotton crops account for 25% of all the insecticides used globally every year. Five of the top nine pesticides used on cotton in the US are known carcinogens and all of them are classified by the EPA as dangerous chemicals. There are currently 400 pesticides currently on the market that have not been registered to determine if they cause cancer, birth defects or wildlife toxicity. [Reference: US EPA Pesticide Registration Progress Report, 1/93] And 15 pesticides currently in use are reproductive toxins, according to the California EPA.

By using a Rockin' Baby Organic Sling, you are not only swaddling your baby's precious skin in a fabric that is completely safe and chemical free, but you are also supporting the organic cotton industry, which is making every effort to lessen the environmental impact of conventional cotton farming practices. And while your baby won't eat the Rockin' Baby Organic Sling (though she may gnaw on it), it's important to remember that cotton is a food as well as a fiber. The seeds and fibers of the cotton plant are fed to cattle, which then work their way onto our plates and into our milk. Cottonseed oil is also a main ingredient in processed foods. Because cotton is considered a fiber and not a food, farmers use extraordinary amounts of toxic chemicals to produce it. But ultimately, the toxic chemicals used to produce cotton make their way into our diet. Rockin' Baby Organic Slings contribute to keeping those chemicals out of your diet and your breastmilk!
