My Little Green Shop is an online organic boutique for families that is based in Vancouver, BC. We carry organic swaddle blankets, baby slings, and nursing pillows, organic clothing for babies, children and expectant mothers as well as organic accessories, baby bedding and toys. All of our bath and body products are made with natural organic ingredients and our bags our made from recylced material. Our eating utensils are either made with plastic that doesn't contain BPA or other harmful chemicals, stainless steel or from bamboo, which is the earth's fastest growing plant. Our mission is to provide a wide range of products that are safe and non-toxic and have as little impact on the environment as possible in their production cycles. We are mindful of the unfortunate fact that such items tend to come with hefty price tags. We do our best to find items that are as affordable as possible. Personally, we’ve been environmentally conscious for well over a decade and have done our best to educate ourselves on environmental issues. A major goal, which we never lose sight of, is to minimize our personal impact on the earth’s resources as much as possible. To achieve this we buy as many organic and locally grown or produced items as possible and we always look for environmentally friendly products when they exist. The importance of maintaining the lifestyle we chose really hit home with the birth of our gorgeous babe, Sebastian, in early 2009. We try to be so aware of what’s in his immediate environment and the chemicals/toxins he is exposed to. I clearly recall shuddering the first time I saw him put a plastic object in his mouth as I wondered what and how many chemicals/poisons he was ingesting into his healthy little body. We think of Sebastian and all other babies when we make purchases for My Little Green Shop. We choose Canadian made products when we can and it is imperative to us to only carry items that are safe and non-toxic. We are aware that more and more people are looking to adopt a more environmentally conscious lifestyle. We find that especially gratifying when we think of Sebastian’s future and that of his generation. We donate a percentage of proceeds to charity. |
