Here Comes the Green Babies

The youth of this generation are receiving tremendous exposure to the concepts of living green and are taught early on about the possibility and concern of global warming. However, it’s the babies being born now who will be amongst the first to grow up completely inundated with the green movement. We’ve been shifting our focus to the environment recently and making great strides, but as I was in my car driving yesterday and saw a bumper sticker that read My Baby’s Green, I began to really understand how big a part of our culture this movement has become. Even infants too young to understand the concept of a carbon footprint are being raised in a way that will hopefully facilitate a more sustainable future. It may come as a surprise but there is actually a large and growing industry for green and organic baby products.Living green is a company that sells a diverse range of green products, offering everything from home furnishings to house cleaners to baby products. A line of teenie greenie baby clothes and washcloths made from 100 bamboo fiber offer parents away to start their children out on the green foot. Living green even sells a range of soft and cuddly stuffed animals made from recycled plastic bottles.Another growing trend amongst moms is the shift back to cloth diapers. While the concept of washing and reusing the same diapers remains, the cloth diapers of today are nothing like what your parents wore when they were babies. Companies like Go Green Baby Co. and the Cloth Diaper Company sell a range of styles of cloth diapers. Different styles, accessories and patterns make this an easy and sustainable system to use with your newborn.With all of these green baby trends, hopefully we will see a generation who has grown up used to the idea of using eco-friendly products and will bring about a more sustainable future.
