I’d like to welcome Helena and her home business Thanks Mama to our eco community. She is a work at home mom with a 14 month old girl who runs her business with the help of her husband offering cloth diapers for babies, here’s some more from Helena on her cause for both parents and the environment…

We offer cloth diapers, diapers covers, reusable potty training pants, reusable nursing and menstrual products for moms and safe, wooden toys for babies. We believe cloth diapering is a better option for everybody, better for babies, better for family’s budget and better for the environment! Cloth diapers today are as easy to put on and take off as disposables only instead of throwing them out and adding to the mountains of waist, parents wash them and use them again and again, even pass them on to other children. Many cloth diapering options are available on our website.

Check out Helena’s wonderful online store today and consider some comfortable cloth diapers for your baby!

Trees and Tots is an organic/natural web-based boutique that carries a spectacular array of merchandise for babies, children, teens and a few for the home.  We are a quaint company ran by a family raising our own children a beautiful shade of green, conscious of the environment and healthy.  We are very aware of the of the harmful chemicals, pesticides, herbicides, carcinogens and toxins in so much of the food we eat, clothes we wear, cleaners we use, bedding we sleep in and toys our precious children play with.  We realized that the safest, healthiest way to raise our family was organically and naturally; from food to clothing, cleaners to bedding and shampoos to toys.  Parents do want the best for their children and we can help you achieve this.  We at Trees and Tots want to help you raise your family green while being mindful of the world we live in and share.   We are dedicated to helping babies, toddlers and children lead a balanced, healthy and happy lifestyle while educating Mommies and Daddies on how and why to do so.  We want to be your one stop shop for all your wee one’s organic natural, safe and healthy needs.  Our web-store is open 24/7/365; you can’t beat those store hours.  We at Trees and Tots believe in doing our part to make our land a cleaner, healthier environment and are always striving to lessen our carbon foot print. 

We care about the trees and tots in the world and their prosperous future, so therefore do what we can to preserve Mother earth.  We appreciate all she gives us, her sheer beauty and want our great grandchildren to enjoy the same wonderful natural amenities.  We  make a conscious effort and it a common business practice to reduce, reuse and recycle.  We carry 100% certified organic clothing, 100% all natural products and everything is earth friendly.    Our company policy is to only purchase and support fair trade products and small handmade toy makers because I feel they are made of superb quality and are unique. 

We are always looking out for new amazing and safe products to carry in our on-line retail store to offer parents.  A goal of ours is to help clean up our planet, have less pollution and chemicals emitted in the air we breathe, save the nearly extinct animals, have a few less diseases to attack us and to live a longer meaningful life.  Our simple mission now is to provide excellent products and superior customer service, while being mindful of the earth we live in and share.  We have a resourceful Blog, insightful green living articles, organic kid-friendly recipes and also sell previously loved organic clothing and toys to give them a second life and keep them out of the landfills.  We truly do care about the trees and tots in the world!

“We do not inherit the Earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.” – Native American Proverb.

This is the first thing that caught my eye when I visited Positively Organic and it touched me deeply. I’d like to welcome Peter with Positively Organic to our eco community.  They offer a wide variety of excellent apparel for children and organic baby clothes. Here’s some information on the history of Postively Organic and their eco friendly approach…

Combining luxuriously-soft organic cotton and sweatshop-free manufacturing with bold graphics, bright colors and hip, yet simple designs, Positively Organic’s delightful collection of children’s apparel is not just fun to wear — it’s kinder to the planet and to the people who make them.

Positively Organic was founded by New York city residents Nancy and Peter Possenti, on the simple belief that when it comes to dressing kids, parents shouldn’t have to choose between style and sustainability. With a clear vision, great passion and big dreams — but limited resources — the Possenti’s started their company working late nights and weekends while also holding other jobs.  Tapping into their diverse backgrounds and talents, they designed a website, ordered some inventory and, with a heat press in their living room, started fulfilling orders.

At Positively Organic, we passionately believe in the idea of doing well by doing good.  As our company grows, we’re strongly committed to “putting our money where our heart is”  by taking care of our environment, our communities and, most importantly, our children in a number of ways. Working exclusively with socially responsible companies and making sure that the workers who make our products are paid a living wage and treated with dignity. Supporting causes that are near and dear to our hearts in 4 key areas:  Children’s Health and Welfare, Environmental Sustainability, Economic Justice, Artistic Expression.
