Pre-Cycle Instead of Recycle on Earth Day

Category: Eco-Friendly How To

We know the mantra reduce, reuse, recycle. The last of the three seems to have caught on more than the first two. So some people use the term pre-cycle which means to pre-vent using something or to pre-think a purchase. Yes, this does mean basically the same thing as reduce and reuse, but it’s a little catchier. I’m sure many of you are already doing some of the following, but why not try to do them all?  Here’s how:

image

Bring your own bag to the store. I expanded my own bag practice from grocery stores to places like Target and Marshalls, and I get some funny looks, but hopefully it will catch on. My favorite grocery totes are colored ones I got from Trader Joe’s for a couple of bucks. Here are some reuseable bags in creative prints and cool designs. 

image

Carry around a reusable coffee mug and water bottle. It seems scientists are once again concerned that teeny weeny bits of bad things come from plastic water bottles, which is another reason to invest in Sigg aluminum bottles

image

Use cloth napkins and kitchen towels. Paper towels are not essential to a kitchen. I have a cabinet full of tea towels, and a small hamper in the kitchen for them once they are really dirty. We have been living without paper napkins towels for years. If you don’t already have a bunch of cloth items stock up on basic organic cotton napkins and towels

image
Now here’s one I have been attempting to for years but have yet to succeed. Bring your own utensils with you instead of using plastic ones. Sigg has a heavy duty set that comes in a cool case, but people may be scared if you pull it out in food court. I am going to try is to use a makeup brush case to tote silverware from home. Does anyone know of a better way to carry a fork around?

Earth Day Beauty Find: Aguacate Skin Care for Earth Mamas

Category: Mom Beauty

Aguacate Skin Care

What: Aguacate & Co. Skin Care Line

Why: A lot of moms care as much about the environment as they do about their pores and fine lines. My sister reads a label for the company’s environmental policies before she looks at the ingredients. For her and all the other Earth Mothers (and Fathers), there’s Aguacate.

With organic aloe, coconut oil, jojoba oil, Willowbark extract and Vitamin E, the products meet the Earth Mom’s qualifications for organic and natural ingredients, and nearly all the items are also certified vegan. Aguacate is also a member of The Organic Trade Association, the Natural Ingredient Truth in Labeling Pledge, and One Percent For the Planet, an alliance of eco-conscious businesses that give one percent of their sales to environmental research.

Because the products are fragrance-free and packaged in classic black and white, they also work great for guys or for couples who share. I especially like the gentle exfoliating cleanser because it’s not too “scrubby” and the toning spray, a refreshing pick-me-up with organic aloe leaf and rosewater (no cotton ball required). It’s the perfect way for the Earth Mother to start her day.

Price: $18 - $39

Find it: aguacateandco.com

Deal Alert: Enter the code Momfinds until May 31 and take 20% off your order.

Shop Organic for Baby on Earth Day

Category: Children Eco-Friendly

It’s getting easier and easier to shop organic for your family, and the selection of organic finds for baby, alone, has gotten mighty impressive.  Inspired to go green?  Here are some of the latest eco-friendly, organic goodies for your earth baby:

image

You probably know about babyGap’s collection of Organic Bodysuits, but did you know they also have adorable Organic Baby Bedding? Check it out in their new babyGAP Home Store if you live in LA, Chicago or NYC, but you can also find everything on their site.
image

Want something that’s not just organic, but multi-tasking too?  Invest in Orbit Baby’s Green Edition Bassinet Pram.  Use it as a Moses basket, a chic pram to go with the Orbit Stroller or as a cradle on the Orbit Rocker.  Regardless of how you use it, baby will love snuggling up against the 100% organic cotton lining.
image

This one’s more for moms, but we had to include it since there’s nothing more organic than breastfeeding your baby.  Nurse in eco-fabulous style with Bebe au Lait’s new Simple Nursing Covers made from 100% certified organic linen and cotton. 


Tip: Find organic baby clothing, cloth diapers & natural toys at the BabyCenter Earth-Friendly Boutique.
