Going Green Beyond Organic Food

Baby organics is a hot topic amongst parents right now. In addition to choosing to eat organic food, many parents are embracing organics as a way of life for them and their child. This can include organic baby furniture, nappies and clothing, all of which are now available. In fact, for many families having a baby has been the specific catalyst that led them to embrace organics. Surveys have shown dramatic increases – as high as 211% – in sales for eco-friendly baby products over recent years.

Companies that produce natural cleaning products are also reporting an increase in the numbers of parents choosing chemical-free products for their nursery and home.

When it comes to organic baby food, the standards are clear. Going green for your baby means fewer pesticides in the food he or she eats, as regulations around organic food ban these chemicals. But with non-food items, it is still less straight forward what the term means, according to WebMD. It’s a good idea to double check any claims of “natural” fabrics, for instance, as their production may still have involved the use of chemicals.

In addition to food, what products do you look for that are certified organic?
