A Glimpse into Your Dream Green Future...

"A Wake-Up Story"

 
As a green bride, it goes without saying that you want to carry out the rest of your "Happily Ever After" in every eco way possible.

So, it's never too early to start thinking about how you will create a healthful, nontoxic home and better planet for your future family.

Healthy Child, Healthy World-- an organization devoted to educating and advocating healthy environments for children and families-- has recently created this video ("A Wake-Up Story") to give a sense of the challenge we future moms are up against.


The picture it paints is far from a pretty scene.
The most staggering fact to me: Babies are born with 200 chemicals flowing through their veins.  

A future healthy baby has to start with you and your husband committing to a chemical-free lifestyle now.  You can also protect other families by sharing what you've learned from this video and website.

Healthy Child, Healthy World provides a list of companies that have won their "kid safe" approval.  Their book, written by Christopher Gavigan (CEO of Healthy Child), is also a wonderful resource to add to your registry!

Another wedding registry fav... for anyone who knows me, OF COURSE I was bound to include it somewhere, and I'll probably write more about it again soon.  Shaklee's Get Clean cleaning products.  Toxic-free, eco-friendly cleaners that end up saving you lots of money too (they're really concentrated, so just add water).  Each kit saves 108 pounds of packaging from the landfills and 248 pounds of greenhouse gas.  That's a lot, my friends.  Start doing your green bridal part now!  And reap the healthful benefits later...
