Twitter Tuesdays - Going Green with Kids

Twitter Tuesday took place earlier the week over @CrunchyGranolaB AND on Facebook!

Everyone posted such amazing ideas for our fill-in-the-blank question, but we could only pull ONE name from a hat, so …

Congratulations to Kate O’Brien for winning Twitter Tuesday! And check out ALL our wonderful responses below:

We asked: "The best way to go green w/kids is ________________." You answered:

• Organic food.
• Cloth diapers.(Lots of you said cloth diapers!)
• Free-cycling or donating gently used toys, clothes and baby gear. (Don't forget about our Once Crunched line!)
• Plant a vegetable garden.
• Teach them to reduce, reuse, recycle, shop local and eat organic
• Teach them to respect Mother Earth all around.
• Roll them on the lawn. They'll certainly be greener after that. (Hehe, that's a good one.)
• Shop local organic farmer's markets for in season fruits and veggies.
• Spend a little time outside, every day, from the moment they are born. And let them go butt naked as a way to potty train them.
• Let them taste a vegetable garden.
• Let them get dirty.
• Start potty learning early and replace your diapers with a handful of organic cotton training pants.
• Use hand-me-downs instead of buying new!
• Get very creative with whatever's in the recycle bin for craft time.
• Use glass and metal bottles.

Any other ideas? Post 'em below! And stay tuned to Twitter and Facebook next Tuesday for another great contest and YOUR chance to win a CGB prize.

New Product: Modern Baby Co. Wall Art

Looking to spice up the baby's room? Check out the gorgeous, green wall art CGB is now carrying!

These 13" x 17" prints are a fun, simple and smart decor addition. And while the frame isn't included, it's good to know that these designs are printed on recycled heavy weight paper with soy inks. Plus, they're created at a USA based printing facility that operated on wind power. How cool is that?! Check out the variety of colors and designs here.

(And did we mention that we're also carrying mobiles? Check it out!)
