Hi Again!

So I have been diligently working on articles and copy edits at this point since the completion of the DVD- Everything takes so much TIME!

Rome wasn't built in day, I know...

I did get to write a fabulous green makeup article for Natural Solutions Magazine, it is for the December 2008 issue- be sure to check it out http://www.naturalsolutionsmagazine.com/

Now that school is back in session and packing the kids lunches, I thought I would take the time to share a couple of BBG Green tips on what and where to buy safe supplies.

We have heard how bad PVC and leads etc. are and need to be more self and planet concious in our consumer choices.

Here are a few ideas-

Lunch boxes- BuiltNY (http://www.builtny.com/), Mimi the Sardine (http://www.mimithesardine.com/ ), SafeMama (http://www.safemama.com/) and Laptop lunch boxes (http://www.laptoplunches.com/)

Sandwich wrap alternatives- Natural value found at health food store is a unbleached natural waxed paper bag that will not contiaminate ground water and is non-toxic when incinerated- best bet is a wrap-n-mat (http://www.wrap-n-mat.com/) that doubles as a placemat and sandwhich wrap- machine washable.

Back Packs - Eco-gear http://www.ecogear-products.com/

School supplies- Target has recycled note pads and pens or http://www.redapplesupply.com/.

Waterbottles- Mysiggs ($17.99)found at Whole Foods or online ( a bit pricey but well worth it) KleenKanteen (http://www.kleenkanteen.com/ )and camelbak ($11.99) (http://www.camelbak.com/) you can find it at Sports Authority or Dick's Sporting store and is BPA free.

You will feel confident knowing you and your kids are making a difference in our world with safer choices and in return better health!

Be Well!
