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.

Foldable Dinner Set

Why It's Good:

This cheery, ultra-convenient dishware folds flat so you can pack light on your next outing and make it up that mountain path with ease. Perfect for a summer picnic in an alpine meadow or down by the sea.

Why It's Green:

This dishware is lightweight, foldable, and reusable—which cuts down on disposables like paper or styrofoam, and means folks are less likely to leave it behind while enjoying the great outdoors. It's made from a food-grade material called polypropylene; recommended by Greenpeace as an alternative to PVC, it's recyclable and gives off carbon dioxide and water (not toxins) when it burns. The colors come from food-grade colorants and inks. The company recycles off-cuts from production as well as manufacturing waste, keeps its production all under one roof, and is looking for ways to become carbon neutral.

Where To Get It:
