If you’re looking for a great way to introduce your little ones to reusable grocery bags then, My Bag and Me! is just the ticket.
This book, appropriate for baby to preschool age children, follows the adventure of one little boy and his reusable bag. Really cool design and a simple message make this book a […]
Mummies and our current trash situation are a lot alike. If you’re working on teaching your younger kids about biodegradability, then the mummy slant works nicely.
Biodegrade: at the most basic means to rot (decompose), and vanish, leaving no trace. Trash, like mummies is tough stuff, hard to rot, hard to make vanish completely.
We know that […]
Can you remember sitting at your desk at school and longing to get outside? I recall it well, especially during the spring months. Sitting near a window was sometimes even worse since it reminded you of what you were missing.
No Child Left Inside Coalition is a group devoted to alerting Congress and the public […]
I’m following up our very weak eco-clothing for kids post with an even sadder look at youth shoes. There aren’t that many earth-friendly shoes for kids - and some who do have them make them in styles that no child I know would agree to wear; more slipper than shoe.
There’s lots for babies; ironic since […]
It’s easy to find organic baby clothing, and somewhat easy to find adult organic clothing. Kids past the toddler stage are more difficult. Maybe it doesn’t sell well, or maybe parents feel like only babies need protection from chemicals in traditional fabrics, or maybe it’s just that the Hannah Montana obsessed generation will only buy […]
Tents are an item kids love. If you have a tent you can go camping of course, but stay dry if it rains, or you can simply hang out in the backyard. Tents are a great way to get the kiddos outside. The only problem with tents is that most are yawn inducing.
Here are some […]
If you’re a kid (or parent) looking for some good reading material then do I have a resource for you. Planetpals, one of the best eco-kid websites around has a very cool Best Ever Planetpals Earth book list. And believe me, it really is the best earth-friendly book list ever for kids. It’s super jam […]
The Earth Day Groceries Project is a great way to get kids involved in spreading the word about Earth Day.
How it works:
Gather up some kiddos - the more the better. Many schools participate each year from elementary to middle schools, but homeschoolers, church groups, day care centers, 4H clubs, girl scouts, playgroups or neighborhoods could […]
We asked our readers for eco tips from kids to enter a recent contest we had to give away some kid shopping bags.
And here are the really savvy and sweet Eco Tips from Kids:
We don’t throw garbage on the Earth and we pick up litter. We have a compost instead of putting it in […]
In a comment thread of a post the other day, we got a little off topic. The original post is about a cool way to help support families dealing with Autism, but in the comments we started chatting about baby names (weird right). Anyhow, I thought as something a little different and fun we could […]
