A Totally Organic Experience
We love organic kids clothes' for any number of reasons, but sometimes I get the feeling that the companies who make them are just jumping on a trend to make a buck. Then there's Little Green Stars.
Moms, co-founders, green bloggers, and bona fide environmental consultants Victoria Holland and Kelley O'Rourke started the organic t-shirt shop as a way to promote eco-goodness and get kids excited about rocks and bugs and earthy stuff. Some of the designs are cuter than others--my faves are Future geologist and Future entomologist which might even open up dialogue in the pre-K about what the heck either of them mean.
My dad recycles more than your dad is pretty hilarious too. Only I'm not sure I want my kid picking a fight with the other tree-huggers over plastics. Can't we all just recycle...and get along? -Liz
