So I Can Be Green Without Cleaning My Home?

I try so hard to be "green." (Does the fact that I put it in quotes mean I'm not trying quite hard enough?)

No harsh chemicals. Nothing that will cause my kiddos to break out in hives or sprout a second head. I mean, sometimes I opt to forgo all bad ingredients altogether and nix the cleaning of the floor for the day [week]. (Hard to get much greener than that.) And using biodegradable, eco-friendly products also means that I'm ensuring single-headed children for my own kids. (Someday. Like, decades and decades and decades from now.)



So have you heard about The Honest Company? (And perhaps their uber-famous creator, one Miss Jessica Alba?) They have a line of products which are a) supremely functional, b) unquestionably eco-friendly, and c) quite charitable. In fact, the company has B Corps Certification (a lot like Fair Trade or LEED certification), donates time, money and product to nonprofit partners like Baby2Baby with every purchase, and strives to be 100% plant-based and sustainably sourced. (And if you're my youngest sister, you just squealed with joy.)

And it doesn't hurt that their diapers are ridonkulously cute.

RIDONK cute.


Biodegradable, plant-based diapers that really, really, really work? With the option for dinosaurs and/or teensy ice cream cones? And the knowledge that you're helping all families (and their wee ones) get access to eco-friendly baby gear and healthier products for their homes? It's enough to give me the warm n' fuzzies.

Which, not surprisingly, is also good for my household.

The Honest Company was started by a mom and a dad who, like many modern parents, were increasingly worried about products made with questionable chemical ingredients. But the alternatives they found were often expensive, inaccessible, bland, or ineffective. In response to this clear need for something better, they created The Honest Company to ensure that parents (or anyone for that matter!) could easily find natural and non-toxic eco-friendly products that are beautiful, effective, and affordable. From customized product bundles to diapers and wipes to an ever-expanding line of cleaning and personal care products, you can find everything you need at Honest.com and have it delivered directly to your front door.

Impressive, but they should go the extra mile to sustainability and make cloth diapers! Cloth is awesome.

Love their diapers! They are so cute... it's a shame to dress the kiddo! :)

Oh, that would for sure be awesome! But it's a great baby step for folks who would otherwise never consider earth-friendly dipes!

It's also a shame that my undies aren't as cute as these. (Is that weird to admit on the Internet?)

Very cool. And cloth diapers are great but not necessarily greener, you have the energy (resources to wash them, the detergents that have to be checked out and green then the energy to soften and dry them.
Baby steps is what everyone needs to take. I like this company.

I think those diapers with the skull and crossbones is the most awesome baby item I've ever seen... ROCK ON!
