Babies grow up quickly and your beloved car seats, strollers, swings and highchairs end up as junk, collecting dust in the garage. Sadly, many of these items are thrown away, ending up in landfills. Well, not anymore. That’s why we’ve launched BabyEarth RENEW, a hassle-free baby gear recycling program.
The program is simple. If you’re done with your car seat, stroller or high chair, send it to us. We’ll make sure everything is properly disassembled and all usable parts are sent to accredited recycling centers. For example, fabrics will be shipped to developing countries, and metal, plastic and foam will be used for construction projects. In the spirit of renewing, if the item is in excellent condition it will be donated to and enjoyed by another family who needs it.
While you are on the site, you can also check out BabyEarth's eco-friendly baby products like this organic mattress below:

I just came across a website that has some really nice gift sets that could be used for several different occasions. They are all eco-friendly and come ready to go packaged very nicely. These gift sets are perfect for housewarmings, baby showers, gifts for when you stay with someone for the holidays, or just as a gift for someone's home. I really love them.
The company is Green Nest, and they specialize in what I would call Eco-Chic Green Feng Shui for home or office. They have mostly home decor items that are eco-friendly and designed to dilute the chemical, and harsh synthetics that bother people who are more sensitive. However, surrounding ourselves with healthy decor does not have to wait for when we are sick.
