This is Not a Plastic Baggie
So you gave up on the cloth diapers, forgot to ditch the PBA bottles and didn’t splurge for the bamboo crib set.
Wait! There’s still a chance to reverse your eco-kid karma.
These cheerful Velcro-closure organic cotton snack sacks from Graze Organic are illustrated with water-based dyes and are machine washable, so they can be used again and again.
Now just make sure those veggies are local and the bread’s got ancient grains.
US$35 for set of 5. www.grazeorganic.comJune 5th, 2009
Snackin' Up
We’d love to subscribe to the GOOP way of eating (translation: have Mario Batali cook all our meals), but sometimes a quick snack is in order.
But it still has to be Paltrow-worthy, meaning probiotic and packed with nutrients, antioxidants and fibre, of course.Lucky for us, Genuine Health’s new Hip to be Healthy Squares ($3.49) fit the bill. The uniquely square-shaped bars (it’s hip to be rectangular just doesn’t sound as cool) are made up of organic oats, raisins, almond butter and brown rice crisps and pack plenty of fibre and protein on the go.
The natural ones are our pick but if you enjoy a chocolate treat, they come coated in organic dark chocolate too.
