A dear friend just pointed out that the so-called “clean,pure, French, and pricey” bath products we’ve  been using on our kids have a ton of parabens.  Indeed, they do. Shoot. But there is something called the “precautionary principle” which sounds like it could be responsible for a lot eco-anxiety, so I’m not dumping them out yet.  

Two newer ones:

Eco-terrorism: houses were lit on fire last week across the lake…NPR covered it

Ecolectual: someone guided or motivated by an intelligent respect for the environment ( can you believe they trademarked this?!)

So, our kiddo has hit 6 months and its time to give her some real grub. Seems like we just figured out the bottle situation (Born Free is all good), the utensil/plate debate ensues.

Fortunately, there are some sites out there who have done some good work on this subject:

Now, if we could just buy them all in one place?!
