There’s a lot of things you want to share when you’re a new mom – like the 1,001 pictures you’ve posted of baby on the little one’s dedicated blog. And then there are other things you’d like to keep, ahem, private. (more…)

At $28, the “Ride the Recycle Wave” organic cotton tee, made with low-impact dyes and printed with water-based inks (by a local Hawaiian printer) is perfect for your tubular toddler.

As an eco-conscious adult, you’ll want your legacy to live on with your like-minded little ones. My Little Pakora, a line of planet friendly clothing and accessories for baby, takes pride in its low-impact processing (using certified organic cotton from sustainable farms and toxin-free dyeing), helping ensure a green future for the next generation.
The darling designs are inspired by founder Sonia Gupta’s South Asian heritage.

Dimples are so Cute!

This layette set from Dimples is one of the more magnificent newborn gifts we have seen.
Made of 100 percent organic cotton without any kind of chemical treatments, baby’s delicate soft skin is protected along with the environment. Dimples is owned by husband-and-wife team Jane Anne and Sam McAllister, whose baby wear is manufactured in New Zealand under the strictest standards of quality and fair wages.
The set, which is available in chocolate and sage stripes with a bee embroidered on the front, or in pink with a tiny embroidered rose, includes a playsack with a drawstring at the toes, a hat and a receiving blanket to keep baby fashionable and cozy.
Too bad the sets don’t come in our size!

Target Targets Green Teens

Do your teens wear their hearts on their sleeves? Well, now they can wear their environmental convictions on their T-shirts. For less than $10, your kids can assert their beliefs in these 100% organic cotton vintage tees from Target.
So, what makes organic cotton better? Glad you asked. It takes approximately one-third of a pound of chemicals to yield enough cotton for one T-shirt! Given that this near-ubiquitous fiber clothes more than half the world, by eliminating dangerous pesticides, herbicides, insecticides and chemical fertilizers from the production process, going organic is not just healthier for your child, but better for the planet. Now that’s a fantastic fashion statement!
Under the Canopy for Under $10!
Date: October 15, 2008 | Category: Children, Clothing, Fashion
While the rate at which our little ones are outgrowing their apparel may not have changed, our awareness about their clothing’s composition certainly has. Five of the top nine pesticides used on conventional cotton in the U.S. are known carcinogens. But organic get ups often get passed over because moms either cannot afford it or cannot justify investing in something that will get less than a year of wear. So what’s an eco-conscious parent to do? My suggestion: Head on over to your nearest Target.
Previous concerns that organic kids’ clothing have to come with higher price tags can be put to rest with Under The Canopy’s new line of kids’ clothing at Target. From the company that coined the term “ecofashion” comes more than 10 organic tees and onesies, all for under $10!
Quality eco-apparel for our little ones with a petite price tag to match makes it possible to save for little Sally’s college fund without sacrificing her sustainable style.
