Somewhere That’s Green

So, how does one save power equivalent to 3,000 AAA batteries, or enough power to run a television for 3 weeks, or even enough electricity to power a lap top computer for an entire month, with one purchase? If this thought has crossed your mind before (or even if it hasn’t) you will get a right kick out of this company : Green Toys.

Green Toys uses high-density polyethylene (or HDPE). This material is considered one of the safest, cleanest plastics around. And for the everyday consumer, that is simply yesterday’s milk jug. And not only that, Green Toys is locally located. Now before one starts a tirade about the benefits of open trade, consider the distance that each shipment has to travel in order to make it to the shelves. The amount of green house gases produced is astronomical! If one can help cut back on green house gases in at least one purchase, you’re doing your part to help out!

All Green Toys are shipped strictly within the US, (however i am sure internationally they have their own versions of green toys as well). This cuts down on the amount of fuels burned in transportation, not to mention guarantees that your toys won’t be sea sick when they get to you! *tongue in cheek*

And for the ever safety conscious parent (as you should be) Green Toys has seen to it that every toy passes a plethora of tests, including :

• Consumer Products Safety Standard Specification, ASTM F963
• California Prop. 65 restrictions on lead & cadmium
• FDA regulations for food contact
• California regulations prohibiting phthalates in toys
• Voluntary testing for no BPA (Bisphenol-A)

These toys can be found at a number of locations nation wide:
