MOM
Gorgeously Green Moms – your interest in everything green and your desire to create a better world for your children should be applauded! When I had a little baby, I started to really wake up to the pollution in and around my home. Nothing was more important than providing the healthiest environment I could for the impossibly helpless little bundle that I carried around 24/7. Mercifully, many of us have recently become aware of the horrific childhood dangers of pesticide and insecticide use in and around the home and many moms now eschew the use of toxic cleaners. We are also beginning to realize that we can raise much healthier, happier children on organic food. A collective conscious is burgeoning and we cannot afford to let up for a minute.
I love that we can teach our children to have enormous respect for Mother Earth and what she gives to us. We can encourage them to become stewards of our gorgeously green planet so that we will see a new generation of compassionate and caring individuals who inherently know that everything is interrelated. _______________________________________________________________________ KIDS KONSERVE - $

_______________________________________________________________________ BEST AIR PURIFER EVER - $$
Living in smoggy Los Angeles, I have spent the last few weeks researching air purifiers. It's vitally important that particularly babies and small kids breathe clean air throughout the night. It has a patented HEPAsilent filter, which filters out dust, pollen, bacteria, pet dander, mold spores and other airborne particles. It is so unbelievably silent for such a heavy-duty purifier - even on top speed. It's one of the world's most energy-efficient models in that it only used 10 watts of energy on its highest speed! I also love that itís eco-friendly all the way around: the filter is made of polypropylene, which breaks down into water and carbon dioxide when burned, the filters contain no additives, the outer casing is made of galvanized steel (so no chemical out-gassing), and it's designed to be disassembled and completely recycled at the end of itís life.
