Sending your Children Back to School with Earth-Friendly Gear

This time of year can be difficult as your children want the newest trends and fashions for their back-to-school items. From notebooks to backpacks to iPhone accessories, what is a parent to do?

This time of year presents then a great opportunity to educate your children about sustainable products. The products listed here are not only earth-friendly, but also cute and trendy - an added bonus. Watch your kids grow this year to learn to respect the environment more, and to be proud that their gear can make a difference for the planet.

First, the backpack. One of the most crucial pieces of gear for your child. Ecogear offers fabulous options that are made of natural cotton, non-toxic dyes, and sustainable wood. Their Ecozoo series includes the Ecozoo Roll allowing your little guy or girl to pull and push the backpack around as opposed to the burden and pain that can come from having it on his or her back. The Ecozoo packs come in three different animal options and are too cute! The Kids Series backpack has a trendy messenger bag - all of these options are an economical $17.99.




Second, how to pack that healthy lunch and snacks? Right now at Kidconserve you are able to buy their Waste Free Lunch Kit for $12 less than their usual price. This lunch kit is $30 on sale and includes a recyclable cotton lunch bag, a stainless steel bottle, a cotton sandwich bag, and round snack containers (all pthalate, BPA and lead free). There are various cuter versions of this product, but not currently on sale.




Lastly, for the most valuable of tools, the pens, pencils and notebooks where your children will write, learn, memorize, and become wiser throughout the year, there is Red Apple School Supplies Green Apple line of products. They offer beautiful notebooks for $6.99 and up, paper, pens, pencils, pencil cases and more, all made from recycled material. Their Banana Paper notebooks are made from banana leaf fibers - very unique and lovely!



Wishing you and your children a great school year of learning and pride with their eco-friendly gear.
