| Organic Natural Pet Beds and Toys
Shredded natural rubber creates a bed that conforms to your pets unique shape each time he/she lays down supporting the body. Shredded rubber pillows are great for allergy sufferers (pillows available for humans too!) |
Information from Pesticide Action Network:
"Conventionally grown cotton uses more insecticides than any other single crop and epitomizes the worst effects of chemically dependent agriculture. Each year cotton producers around the world use nearly $2.6 billion worth of pesticides -- more than 10% of the world's pesticides and nearly 25% of the world's insecticides. Cotton growers typically use many of the most hazardous pesticides on the market including aldicarb, phorate, methamidophos and endosulfan."Effects on Birds: "It has been estimated that pesticides unintentionally kill at least 67 million birds in the U.S. each year, and it’s likely they kill many more. Estimates of bird kills from pesticides are notoriously low because many birds remain hidden in brush, are carried away by scavengers or die away from treated areas where they won’t be counted. In one case, a breeding colony of laughing gulls near Corpus Christi, Texas, was devastated when methyl parathion was applied to cotton three miles away. More than 100 dead adults were found and 25% of the colony’s chicks were killed."
