Yesterday fashion designer Katharine Hamnett, speaking after being made a CBE by the Queen urged the world's major cotton growers to 'go organic'. The designer 63, said "Cultivating it without pesticides was better for farmers, the land and the environment generally. Consumers want organic cotton but the industry is taking too long to catch up with the demand." She added " More important than the fashion is the ethical side of the business. It's good to get something like this but I do feel like a bit of an Old Testament prophet preaching into the wildernes." Click here to read more about the benfits of organic cotton.

BPA Ban in Europe (posted 18 March)
A ban has been prohibited in the European Union on the use of Bisphenol A (BPA) in the manufacture of baby bottles. Although the ban was adopted in January it officially became effective on 1 March 2011. BPA, an organic molecule used in the manufacture of polycarbonate plastics can be released in small amounts if the bottle or container is heated at high temperatures. This may be harmful to infants according to scientific evidence as the ability to eliminate BPA is still developing within the first six months of a baby's life.
