Vegetarian Marshmallows...

I received an email from my sister in LA who designs yoga clothing made from organic bamboo and organic cotton. We were raised vegetarian and have chosen to raise our children that way too.

She was ecstatic because she found a site selling Vegan Marshmallow treats... here is what she said...

I have been searching for quite some time!! I didn't want Treya to miss the joys of S'mores over an open fire, but didn't want him to be eating boiled animal parts either....

So just in time for Halloween, here it is:

Target hit with $600,000 penalty for violating 30-year-old ban on lead toys

Everyone should see this... and really is $600,000 enough? How many children will continue to play with the dangerous toxic toys because their parents never saw the recall? Probably most of them. Here is the link to the full article...

TARGET has LEAD Toys

Or if you just want to see the toys:

Next time, we should all buy natural toys made form non-toxic materials and non toxic paint.

Patented Organic Scrubs Save Lives!

In the town where we live, the healthcare industry is huge. There are more people working in the healthcare field than any other. But just as people go to hospitals to heal one thing, they are catching another. Hospital Aquired Infections (HAI) are on the rise, and 276 people die EVERY DAY from them.

What if we could reduce the risk of this by a simple, inexpensive, eco-friendly thing? What if it was as easy as getting dressed in the morning?

This is now possible. Scrubs made from Organic Bamboo are naturally anti-microbial, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, hypoallergenic and thermodynamic.

What do all these words mean to us? It means we all stay healthier. It means ALL of us stay healthier: the doctors, nurses, massage therapists, and the patients.

Using a sustainable, renewable material to produce a biodegradable product that performs better than the current, earth damaging scrubs is genius! These are not just words. We will be showing the only scrubs that are made from an FDA approved and patented bamboo fabric! Watch for more on this exciting development!

Where to find it all...

Here's a link to my natural living website www.theorganiccompany.com
I've offered organic fiber clothing, bedding and other earth friendly products to my loyal customers since the spring of 1995 when I first became involved with the organic fiber market.

I organized an eco-fashion show/fund raiser for a local college environmental group and caused so much excitement that I borrowed money on my used Toyota to open a store. From a humble booth of some thirty organic cotton items, my retail store was born, and within a year of the grand opening we doubled the floor space, and received an award for Business Improvement from the local Chamber of Commerce.

Over the last fifteen years, my company has grown into one of the largest, most complete selections of organic fiber goods in the country, we have created our own line of organic bedding, locally produced exclusively for our worldwide customers. The Organic Company also offers organic bodycare products and organic makeup, sustainable housewares, eco-furniture, natural toys, and earth friendly gifts.

As a parent of four young children, I love to help people to raise organic kids, from explaining the easiest way to use organic cloth diapers to choosing an affordable, long lasting organic bed for the whole family. I have helped countless parents find precisely what they need for their babies and kids, and love to find just the right fit for each child.
