Organic fruits and veggies are packed with more flavor (naturally) than non-organic produce. This may help those little picky eaters when it comes to dinner time.
Get down on your floor to get a better idea of what your baby comes into contact with.

Just like our planet, our babies need a little loving from mama nature, too. Put your hands together for two celeb moms living the green life for their kids. Singer Olivia Newton-John and actress Kelly Preston (wife of John Travolta) are devoted to environmental issues affecting children and are stern advocates for living organically. The two power women got together to host an educational video, Not Under My Roof: Protecting Your Baby From Toxins at Home, for the Children’s Health Environmental Commission. Preston explains “Since babies spend a lot of time on the floor, there are all sorts of things that they breathe that we don’t. See the world the way your baby does. This is your baby’s crawl zone. They breathe four inches from the ground.” Newton-John, a breast cancer survivor, became a determined supporter for children’s cancer research and prevention after her 5-year-old goddaughter, Collette Chuda, died of cancer. Newton-John is convinced the cancer resulted from exposure to environmental pollutants during pregnancy. Take a cue from these mamas and baby proof your home the eco way.

Babies in utero can be exposed to environmental toxins such as carbon monoxide or lead. Organ development occurs in spurts and it’s in those key growth spurts that organ systems are most susceptible to permanent toxic damage.

The livestock sector (primarily cows, chickens, and pigs) emerges as one of the top two or three most significant contributors to our most serious environmental problems, at every scale from local to global. It is one of the largest sources of greenhouse gases - responsible for 18% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions as measured in CO2 equivalents.
One of the best ways to go green in a small way in your home, is to adopt a house plant. Not only will it make the ambience fresh, but it will help with your air quality!

Don’t want to be left behind when it comes to greening your home? Protect your house and your family by going eco like these celebs. The star with the greenest home is none other than Johnny Depp. He owns his own island with a self-sustaining habitat that runs solely on solar-hydrogen power. Daryl Hannah parks her bum on a moss covered stone she uses as a couch. Julia Roberts gave her home a $250 million green makeover with recycled and sustainable materials and three roofs full of solar panels. And finally Jason Mraz has a solar-powered avocado farm. Um … yum! Go on and steal some of their ideas.

Does the thought of your baby being born with 200 chemicals in their tiny bodies make you want to go ballistic? Skip the tantrums and go eco like these celeb parents who are raising little organic babies. A number of stars enlisted Lisa and Ron Beres from Green Nest to eco-fy their nurseries. Celebrities including Trista and Ryan Sutter, Chelsea Handler, Sally Jessy Raphael, and Kelly Rutherford have all used their services. Another very green celebrity is Soleil Moon Frye … aka Punky Brewster. She even has an organic baby store called The Little Seed in Beverly Hills. Even Greenista Girl Shivani is enjoying a completely organic pregnancy (well almost, no one’s perfect). And let’s not forget Halle Berry. It’s reported that she spent a ton of dough greenifying her new baby’s three nurseries. A source reported that she ordered everything from sheets to the stuffed animals and everything in between to be made with organic cotton … and no wire hangers.
