Really Dirty Diapers:

Buy reusable cloth diapers not only for a cleaner environment (disposables can take 250-500 years to decompose), but also for the health of your baby. The average parent uses 6,000 - 8,000 disposable diapers before their child is potty-trained. These diapers contain sodium polyacrylate, the same substance removed from tampons in 1985, and dioxin, listed by the EPA as the most toxic of all cancer-linked chemicals.

Fork, Knife and Spoon Set

Why It's Good:

Wash-and-go cutlery will ensure you always have what you need to tuck in to lunch, while preventing office drawers from overflowing untidily with plastic utensils. Bamboo is naturally antimicrobial, and air-dries quickly, so a quick clean is all you need until you dig into your next salad or sandwich-and-sides. We like to carry a set around in our bag inside a mesh zippered purse for culinary emergencies.

Why It's Green:

Hard as oak and twice as fast-growing as any wood, bamboo is an incredibly regenerative grass, making it a sustainable alternative to virgin lumber. And when it's not being harvested to create neat, everyday eco-items like this utensil set, it sequesters 17 times the amount of carbon as any softwood forest.
