Environmental consciousness
Earth Babies values practices that are good for the earth. This
means we are always looking for ways to reduce our carbon footprint
(as a business and in our personal lives) but like most people this
is a process.
We try to reuse all the packaging materials we can. If you get
a package with bubble wrap in it, rest assured that came from some
other packaging we received and instead of throwing it away we are
reusing it. When we can't reuse we use products that are recycled
or biodegradable whenever we can. USPS is our delivery method of
choice because they are likely already going to your house whether
we ship something to you or not. We also deliver to local customers
and businesses to save on packaging.
We are researching companies that make fabrics from bamboo and
organic cottons, and designing and creating our own fabrics. We
also seek out vendors that are local to us. Our labels are 100%
organic cotton and produced by a local company. And our blankets
and burp cloths are sewn by a local company.
We care about the earth and mending the relationship humans have
with it. So as in our daily lives we are looking for ways to reconcile.
If you have specific questions or recommendations please email us
we welcome the information. We believe incliding eco-friendly practices
in our business is a process and we are always adding new elements.
We will keep you posted.
