Hey all! Being at the Modern Mom’s Editor Showcase, I came up with this idea to feature products that I love and that I feel are “green”!!! Here we go……
Vidazorb – The reason Smiling Green Mom began! Delicious, chewable probiotic supplement line for the whole family! It cleared up our son’s eczema and changed our lives.
My Vegetable Garden – Locally grown produce that I know is not modified! Also it is a great money saver.
Smencils – Scented pencils made of 100% recycled newspapers and biodegradable plastic containers.
Silk Soymilk – Environmentally conscious company that has partnered with Conservation International. Also they’re supporters of Farm Aid and are wind powered!
Turtle Mountain – Dairy free ice cream treats that are not made in the same facility as nuts making it also great for those with nut allergies, like my son!
Eco Planet – Delicious cookies made with USDA Organic ingredients that contain no GMO’s and are low in fat and sodium.
Baking soda and vinegar – Great natural cleaners without any toxic chemicals.
Kamut- Organically grown wheat that is free from GMO manipulation and has a nutritional advantage over modern wheat.
The Old Bag – Hand-made and painted invention used to dry plastic baggies after they are cleaned so they can be recycled.
Moms Best Cereal – Cereal containing no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives, hydrogenated oils or high fructose corn syrup. The box is made of 100% recycled paperboard and the company supports renewable wind energy.
The Grapeseed Company – Botanical beauty products hand-made from wine with organic botanicals. They are paraben, sulfate and phthalate free.
Urthbags – Handcrafted bags made from recycled materials by Fair Trade Women’s Organizations & Artisans.
Planetbox lunch kit – Made from eco-friendly, stainless steel material, they encourage waste free, healthy lunches.
Mountain Rose Herbs – Sells certified organic herbs, teas and essential oils. Sustainability and environmental stewardship are high priorities for the company.
Plato’s Closet – National and international locations for brand name, gently used clothing promoting “recycled” stylish clothing!
The Old Fashion Milk Paint Co. – Paint products that contain all natural ingredients and will not harm the environment. Their safe paint product is non-toxic containing zero VOC’s.

These are great green products – thanks! Thought you might also be interested in a green service for kids clothes. thredUP kids is a place for green parents to swap kids clothing online…
Americans discard two quadrillion pounds (that’s a two with fifteen zeros!) of used clothes and textiles into landfills each year. What a waste!
thredUP lets parents swap clothes that no longer fit their kids for stylish items that will. We do all the hard work that tends to make traditional kids clothing exchanges so tedious – thredUP matches member preferences, facilitates exchanges and monitors quality. There’s no bidding, no rifling through consignment racks, and NO trips to the post office. All swaps are completed online from the comfort of home – perfect for busy moms. http://www.kids.thredup.com/ to sign-up for the launch and swap your first box of kids clothes for free!
