Happy New Year!

We hope everyone had a safe & happy new year. In just one year we've seen a tremendous change in eco-friendly options. We're looking forward to 2009 being even better! We will continue to increase our offering of the wonderful, safe and green products our customers have come to love. Many new things are on their way!

The start of a new year is a great time to live greener. Here are some of our tips on green living for 2009:

- Re-use & recycle! Everyone's heard that shopping with re-usable bags is a good idea, but don't forget other throwaway item replacements. Use aluminum foil and pyrex containers for storage instead of cling wrap and plastic baggies. Try glass straws instead of the tossable plastic ones. Glass straws are tempered to be strong, dishwasher safe and easy to take in a purse or bag.

- Ditch the chemical-laden, toxic smelling cleaning products for ones that are safe for people and the environment. Love the cleaning power of vinegar, but hate the smell? Try Parsley Plus - made of purified water, coconut and parsley, it cleans surfaces and leaves a fresh, salad-like smell. Many people are very careful about chemical free feeding items, but what are they using to wash them? Try a dishwashing detergent that is phosphate, petrochemical & chlorine free. Our Ecos Wave is free of all these things as well as biodegradable.

- Make your other bags green too. Choose a purse, tote or diaper bag that is organic and/or made from recycled materials.

- For greener kids rooms, start with the basics: no VOC paint, alternatives to traditional chemical-filled carpets like wood or natural rugs and organic bedding. Make sure any feeding or teething items are free of BPA and phthalates like the ones you can find here.

Have questions about green options or looking for particular types of earth-friendly/safe products? We are here to help! Just call, email or stop by the store. We are happy to put our knowledge at your disposal and educate on green living. The items we carry are tested by real people so we can offer you the very best, affordable items available.
