Every day we are faced with choices. We want to make it affordable and easy to make the right choices regarding your home, bed, and your children's beds. We may not be able to change the world in a day, but we can do our parts to try to make a difference.
Considering we spend 1/3 of our lives in bed, choosing healthier beds and bedding was very important for our family. By offering affordable organic products, we aim to help make it an easy choice for everyone. This small choice has a positive impact not only ourselves and our children, but on the environment as well.
"In our every deliberation we must consider the impact of our decisions on the next seven generations."
That was the motto of the Gayaneshakgowa of the Six Nations Iroquois Confederacy. This ideal is what we also believe at Organic O' Canada . Our earth has been temporarily entrusted to us to be good stewards of its environment. Our goal is to influence future generations in a positive way rather than leaving a legacy of harm.
- Seven generations from now, will we know what causes SIDS?
- Will flame retardants with toxic chemicals be a thing of the past?
- Will mothers be able to nurse their babies without fearing what toxic chemicals are concentrated in their breast milk from their mattress?
- Will each cotton shirt we wear take 1 1/2 lb. of pesticides to produce?
- Will our soil be so depleted of nourishment that nothing "real" is available to feed ourselves and our children?
- Will most "food" be genetically modified?
- Will everything in our homes feel unnatural in their texture?
- Will the demand to factory farm continue, thereby putting the small family farmers out of business?
- Will we contribute to rainforest destruction with the lunch we eat or the coffee we drink?
- Will we consider the extinction of species through our choices?
- Will our rivers be a stream of fungicides, herbicides and insecticides?
- Will the cocoa plantations in certain countries still employ slave labor?
- Will clothes for children still be made by children?
