Buying organic clothing isn’t the only way to do your bit for the environment. Purchasing less and buying recycled and reused clothing can also help. The above video is a cheeky look at we can all make changes when it comes to fashion.

This video was produced by Forevermore as part of the Trim the Waste of Fashion competition. You can see all of the submissions here. The competition is designed to address the problems of waste in the fashion industry.

In the nearly $1 trillion clothing industry, waste abounds from the estimated 15-20% of fabric trashed on the cutting room floor, unsustainable material sourcing, massive carbon emissions when transporting products from manufacturing centers, gallons upon gallons of wasted and polluted water during washing and dyeing, as well as wildly excessive packaging, tagging, and storage. Fashion choices matter to everybody, not just models, magazine and style mavens.

What do you think, can think kind of competition result in change or is it all talk?

At long last someone out there has heard the pleas of us trying-to-be-a-little-more-earth-friendly parents and designed some Green Toys that are environmentally friendly and a safe alternative to traditional plastic toys.

We’re giving away five sets of Green Toys so you and your child can play with guilt-free this summer.

Organic Waterproof Lap and Burp Pad

No doubt you are looking for an organic lap/burp pad. Burp pads usually consist of two layers. The American Baby Company has a number of burp pads where the top layer is made of 100% organic cotton. That’s great but the inner layer is made of 100% polyester. Not so great. I guess that is the waterproof part. It’s a shame the entire product can’t be 100% certified organic cotton but that is often how it is with burp pads.

Here is a bit more info about this semi-organic product from American Baby Company:

ABC Organic Lap & Burp Pad. This package of 2 waterproof flat quilted lap and burp pads has a top layer made of 100% organic cotton interlock. The middle layer is 100% breathable polyester. The back layer is waterproof breathable polyester. Each pad measures 14″X21″. Organically grown cotton does not pollute the ground, water or air; it grows without soil poisoning pesticides and chemicals. The colors are naturally occurring shades, free from bleach and dyes. By improving the soil, water and air quality together, we can preserve Mother Nature for our future generations.

It’s not a bad option for less than $17.

Available online from Amazon.

Bamboo Dominoes

There are lots of cheap plastic domino games available which, as you know, are not the best choice for the environment and which may present a health risk for the children playing with them.

The Bamboo Collection Domino Game from Domorino is a cute bamboo domino set for kids aged 4 and over. It is available online from Amazon.

Recycled Post It Notes

I think this is a brilliant idea and it’s a great way for Post It to tap into the ever growing green market. The recycled paper notes are currently made using 30% recycled paper. I’d like to see that percentage go a little higher and I’d like to know what kind of color dyes they use but it’s better than the original Post Its. I’ll be getting some, especially seeing they now have an extra sticky type which can be stuck to monitors, walls, and doors.
