Here are some of the ways we're commited to saving the planet for generations to come:

• Buying only organic food. We are passionate about organic. Not only is it important for our bodies, and more so for our babies, but it puts our money into a method of farming that is sustainable for the planet and less chemically ridden for all. It is also a way to support farming for the future.
• Using natural and recycled products. We only use environmentally friendly cleaning products, from dishwashing to laundry to floor soap and everything in between. We also use recycled paper products - printing paper, toilet paper and paper towel. We try very hard to minimize the use of virgin trees for our paper products (which is what is in all new paper products and contributes to the reason we are losing our forests).
• We recycle and compost. There is a lot of organic waste after all the peeling that is done in our Mommy Chef classes! We compost everything in our own composter and recycle all our boxes, cans, papers and glass. We no longer buy bottled water for our clients, and offer filtered water in glasses. Too much plastic!
• Offer reusable bags and minimize the use of plastic bags. There is too much plastic waste in the world. We also try not to use plastic bags in our garbage cans. We just transfer the waste into the composter, blue bin or outdoor garbage can. It really saves on plastic use.
• Encouraging others to make a difference. In all our classes and workshops we offer information and solutions to moms of how to keep their babies safe from harmful chemicals, such as buying organic foods, clothes, and even baby products like bottles. The products that we buy and therefore support make a difference. Not buying a brand of bottle that has Biosphenol A in it for instance makes a stand that it's not ok to put chemicals in our baby's bottles. Sun creams are another hot topic for chemically laden products on the market. They are not good for our bodies or for the environment during production. There is a lot we can do to become informed to make the right choices in what we do and buy.

We will continue to do our part in saving our planet from the effects of modern life. If that means remembering to turn off the lights, or unplug the cell phone charger when it's not in use, then that's what we will do. It's our responsibility to stay informed and make a difference.
