It's hard to do anything without thinking what impact it will have on the environment nowadays. With everyone jumping on the green,eco-friendly wagon,I tend to wonder what I can do to contribute. But i don't have to sacrifice my style and that of my baby's since the fashion industry is catching up with this movement.

We go green with the clothes we wear. There is eco-friendly clothing made of organic hemp, linen, soy, bamboo, cotton and wool. We try to stay away from clothes that are made of synthetic materials and blends. They tend to make my baby itch a lot when she wears those type. White fabrics tend to be made with a lot of bleach (not good) and dyes contain colors that use toxic substances, synthetic chemicals and heavy metals so stay away from these types of garments as well. I even wash our clothes by using cleaning solutions that don’t contain bleach or detergent.

I have turned my accessories into eco-friendly items, too! You can find green jewelry online or in specialty stores. Green jewelry uses gems, stones and metals that have been recycled instead of standards practices that cause unnecessary pollution. I opt for diamonds that are labeled “recycled,” “conflict-free,” or “free trade.” Other examples of green jewelry include bamboo, clay beads, concrete, stone and hemp.
