THE MANIC ORGANIC STORY TOP

The Manic Organic started for one reason

WHAT DOES "ECO-FRIENDLY" REALLY MEAN? TOP

Believe it or not, we are asked this question a lot, so we thought it was a great idea to put it all out there! We have pulled these definitions together so the next time someone asks you what something means, you can say you got the answers from The Manic Organic!

Biodegradable: By U.S. government definition, 60 to 70 percent of a product's ingredients must be able to break down and return to the environment within 28 days.

Carbon footprint: A measure of the amount of carbon dioxide emitted through the combustion of fossil fuels as part of the everyday life of an individual or the everyday operations of a business. Calculation can include waste disposal, food grown and eaten, gas to get to work, and more. Calculate yours at Web sites like carbon footprint.com.

CFL (compact fluorescent lamp): An energy-saving lightbulb that is a replacement for traditional incandescent bulbs that expend much of their energy in heat rather than light.

Eco-friendly: Little or no impact on the native ecosystem. There is no legal definition for eco-friendly.

Ecological footprint: The area of land and water needed to produce the resources to entirely sustain a human population and absorb its waste products with prevailing technology. It is used as a resource management and community-planning tool.

Greenwashing: When more money and energy is expended on trumpeting eco-friendly practices than in making those commitments a reality. Secondarily, it's when something is touted as green because of an ingredient, component, etc., but overall, it isn't.

Off-grid living: Doing things without electricity or other artificial power sources. For example, using a clothesline instead of a dryer, solar power or push mower.

Organic: Generally, organic foods use plants grown without conventional pesticides or artificial fertilizers and processed without food additives; or food products from animals that have not been subjected to routine antibiotics or growth hormones. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, organic foods must come from farms or ranches certified by a state or private agency that has been accredited by the USDA. Foods labeled "100 percent organic" must contain only organically produced ingredients, excluding water and salt. "Organic" foods must contain, by weight, at least 95 percent organically produced ingredients.

Sustainable materials: Material, like certain types of wood, that have a short growth and renewal cycle (bamboo, hemp, eucalyptus), or that, when harvested, don't degrade critical habitats. The term also is used for materials that are biodegradable, that are recyclable at the end of the usable life cycle, that reduce water or energy consumption or that help the environment.

Vampire appliances, vampire energy: Appliances that suck energy even when you're not using them. For example, cell-phone chargers, even when they're not charging anything, the toaster when there's no toast in it, intercom systems that are listening when you're not talking.

ECO-FRIENDLY: WHY ORGANIC COTTON? TOP

This is an article written by Sarah James, we think she says it perfectly!

It seems the term "organic" has become very popular in the past few years. Grocery stores, specialty markets and clothing boutiques are dedicating entire sections to organic goods. Our family buys organic food when possible, but I hadn't purchased many organic clothing items until after the birth of our son.

I remember thinking to myself, "Why should I buy organic clothing? How is organic clothing helpful to our environment?" After researching the issue, I learned that cotton is the most heavily pesticide-intensive crop grown in the United States. In fact, the pesticide residue contaminates nearby water ways, the air and the soil, eventually polluting the ground water for years.

I now know that purchasing organic cotton benefits our environment by supporting a sustainable method of cotton production, which doesn't pollute the air or the ground and surface water. The omission of synthetic pesticides greatly reduces the damage to our environment and human health.

Next time you see an organic cotton tee, remember supporting methods like these can make a difference in your little one's future.
