Furthermore using hemp, instead of cotton, really is better for the environment. Hemp does not deplete the soil; in fact hemp leaves return nitrogen back to the soil, which improves soil fertility, therefore requiring less fertilizer for subsequent rotated crops.
Interesting Factoids about Hemp:
Did you know ...
- Hemp can displace cotton which is grown with massive amounts of chemicals harmful to people and the environment. Fifty percent of the world's pesticides are sprayed on cotton.
- Hemp fibers are longer, stronger, more absorbent, and more mildew-resistant than cotton. The original Levi Strauss jeans made for the Sierra gold miners were made of hemp sailcloth.
- At a volume level of 81%, hemp oil is the richest known source of polyunsaturated essential fatty acids (the “good” fats). It is quite high in some essential amino acids, including gamma linoleic acid (GLA), a very rare nutrient also found in mother's milk.
- Hemp is good for the soil in which it's grown, as opposed to other crops that deplete the soil of nutrients.
- You can't get high from industrial hemp.
- Industrial hemp actually poses a threat to marijuana growers by cross-pollinating with their high THC plants, and greatly reducing the THC level in subsequent generations.
- George Washington and Thomas Jefferson both grew hemp.
- Ben Franklin owned a mill that made hemp paper.
- Jefferson drafted the Declaration of Independence on hemp paper.
BabyKicks Organic Fitted Diaper
This fitted does it all and when we dreamed it up we had your baby’s comfort in mind. Our premier organic fitted is designed to be the only diaper needed from birth thru potty training. Made of luxurious 50% certified organic cotton for softness, 33% natural hemp for absorbency and durability, and 17% polyester for stretch, this diaper will wrap around baby hugging every curve and keeping messes in. The diaper even comes with a free Joey-Bunz insert.
Features:
Great Fit: This diaper will give you
the flexibility you desire and your baby an amazing comfort and feel
with its trim-fitting design – no bulkiness here – while providing a
wonderful fit!
Side-Snapping Snaps: Side snaps make changing a
breeze and eliminate wing droop. Fold the diaper inside the pocket for a
trim fit on a newborn, or leave the waist snaps slightly loose for easy
up and down on a potty training toddler (you can use this fitted as a
training pant).
Front Pocket: The unique front stuffing
pocket allows for easy access and virtually eliminates insert shift. The
pocket feature on this fitted gives you all the flexibility in the
world to add as much (or as little) absorbency as your child needs – be
it during the day with an added Joey-Bunz Insert or maybe at night with
one of our ultra-absorbent Pre-Folds.
One-Size Design: Our one size design grows
with baby and this truly is the only diaper you will need! There is no
need to figure out what size is right for your baby or worrying about
your baby outgrowing the diapers you just bought. Our BabyKicks Organic
Fitted fits newborns (7lbs/3.2 kg) to toddlers (40lbs/18kg) comfortably
and securely. The color coded snap-sizing system makes adjusting and
finding the right size and fit super-easy.
Please Note: A separate cover is recommended.
