Check out this fantastic Eco-Dollhouse from Plan Toys. It teaches kids about sustainable living by having it’s own tiny alternate power sources — there’s a windmill, some solar panels on the roof and an electric interverter. This really opens up … Continue reading

Recycled Toothbrushes?
Have you ever wondered how brushing your kids teeth could become more eco-friendly? Check out Preserve’s line of junior toothbrushes. The toothbrushes aren’t made of all recycled materials but the handles sure are! The colorful handles are easy for little ones to hold onto and they’re made of 100% recycled plastic. Even better, the toothbrush itself is recyclable when it’s been all used up. Preserve includes a postage paid label so that you can send it back to them to be recycled!
The toothbrushes are BPA free, made in the U.S.A., recyclable and made of recycled content. But wait…that’s not all! Preserve partners with the National Wildlife Federation to highlight different animals with the toothbrushes. Preserve is also a proud supporter of the Wildlife Federation. Right now they’re featuring Tigers (orange), St. Lucia Parrots (pink) and Galapagos Island Turtles (green). The reusable packaging highlights different animal facts so that kids can learn about different animals while brushing their teeth and saving the planet. Talk about multi-functioning!
I thought that these toothbrushes would be a lot more expensive than their comparables but they’re only $2.79 for one or $11 for four. Guess what Santa’s bringing to my kid’s stockings this year? I love products like this that you can stand behind.
Unabashedly Organic, Earth Saving Clothes
I am totally in love with this line of kids organic clothes that I have just discovered from Barley & Birch. The colours are bright and vivid and made completely of water based inks that are non-toxic. They have a line of t-shirts, hats, pants, onesies, tank tops and lap t-shirts with the bigger neck opening for little ones.
The clothes are sweat shop free and made entirely in the USA. They use 100% certified organic cottons to make all of their products. The water based inks and organic cotton ensure that the farmers aren’t exposed to toxic chemicals, the ground has no toxic chemicals dumped on it and no chemicals leech into the ground water. Our kids are going to be the ones left with the mess we create. Isn’t it only fitting that the clothes on their backs are environmentally conscious??
Besides all of that, Barley & Birch donate 15% of their proceeds to offset the carbon emissions created by making their products. Several different carbon-reducing iniatives are supported including carbonfund.org which works on 3 different types of projects: reforestation, renewable energy sources and increasing energy efficiency.
Still not sold on the clothes?? Barley & Birch donate an additional 15% of their proceeds to improve people’s lives around the world. The causes they support include: Madre, 1% for the Planet and Cocoda which are all amazing charities that are really making a difference. Follow the links to find out more information about each organization. They’re really doing some great things!
This company is certainly one that even the most eco-conscious shopper can be proud to support. Remember when you’re shopping this Christmas season that every time you buy something, you are supporting the way it is produced, the company that is producing it and the ideals that stand behind that company. Buying an item is like voting for the company with your hard earned money. Really makes you stop to think twice about what you end up buying when you head out with this mindset.
