I learned that Wee Generation is a combination of three environmentally friendly companies that work to not only bring green products to the public but try to educate people on the choices that they make and how they impact their children and families. Thanks for the great giveaway!
August 12th, 2008 at 12:55 pm
I love that they asked parents, grandparents and care-givers to tell them what features and materials they always wished their own baby bags had. It’s great knowing that the true “experts” helped in designing the bags!
August 12th, 2008 at 1:15 pm
I love that they are focused not on saying they use green products, but on showing (via certification like Cradle-to-Cradle) that they do!
August 12th, 2008 at 1:17 pm
I checked out the Green Nursery Tips. I didn’t know that soft plastic toys can leach out phthalates. I’ll opt for wood toys.
August 12th, 2008 at 1:34 pm
I checked out the Green Nursery Tips as well. I really thought it was a nice, simple, obtainable list. Dusting with a damp cloth, open the windows, sounds good to me!
August 12th, 2008 at 1:39 pm
I learned that if you buy a bag they donate the proceeds to Healthy Child Healthy World.
August 12th, 2008 at 2:04 pm
I love that they donate proceeds to Healthy Child Healthy World and that they are serious about what goes into the process by asking care-givers and families with children in the home what they’d like to have and what they wish for in the product…excellent products, prize and review. PLease count me in as I would love LOVE love to try everything out…I love the bag too!!!
August 12th, 2008 at 2:08 pm
I’ve learned that this company is for eco-friendly products that is important in raising a healthy family.
August 12th, 2008 at 2:43 pm
“Open the windows. The EPA has found that the air inside our homes can be up to five more polluted than the air outside. So open your windows as often as possible.”
I’ve always wondered if that could be the case - now I think it must be
August 12th, 2008 at 2:47 pm
I like that they donate to Healthy Child Healthy World if you buy a bag.
Great giveaway! Count me in. bebemiqui82(at)yahoo(dot)com
August 12th, 2008 at 3:06 pm
I loved the Green Nursery section of the website - I learned that I should dust with a damp cloth, something I don’t currently do but makes sense. Thanks!
August 12th, 2008 at 4:25 pm
Wee Generation is a unique collaborative partnership between Seventh Generation, Healthy Child Healthy World, and Rickshaw. They offer safe health products for your children and the planet~! I also learned to open windows as the pollution outside is less than 5 times as the house air we breath. I have been using a damp cloth to dust with for years so I was glad to read I was doing something right. Now I’m planning screens for the windows tomorrow. Thanks for having this giveaway. Bye for now.
August 12th, 2008 at 4:50 pm
I like their “5 easy steps” to a greener life. They are succinct and to the point. Thanks for the giveaway.
August 12th, 2008 at 5:02 pm
This fact always amazes me:
“Remarkably, the air inside the average home is 2-5 times more polluted than the air outside. These crucial ideas will make sure you and your baby breathe a whole lot easier.”
It’s especially true when you think of how we try to seal up our homes against the cold and then buy toxic furniture and other manufactured goods. It’s pretty scary! I try to outgas things before I bring them inside and also I don’t use any harmful cleaning chemicals or air freshener sprays. I’d love to win this bag, as I’m a big Seventh Generation fan. I’d love to try the baby laundry detergent. Thanks for sharing!
August 12th, 2008 at 5:41 pm
What a great cause! I learned that if you buy a bag they donate the proceeds to Healthy Child Healthy World!
August 12th, 2008 at 5:50 pm
I didn’t know that the that the air inside our homes can be more polluted than the air outside.
August 12th, 2008 at 6:16 pm
I did not know that the air inside our homes can be up to five more polluted than the air outside. Actually shocking. Since we are in the east coast it is not easy to keep the windows open all year but we sure will try.
August 12th, 2008 at 7:03 pm
Wee Generation is a partnership between Seventh Generation, Healthy Child Healthy World, and Rickshaw Bags.Their seminal collaborative effort is the first baby bag seeking Cradle-to-Cradle Certification. Thanks for the drawing!
August 12th, 2008 at 7:24 pm
I learned that they used real parents input when designing their baby bag. It’s nice to know that someone who uses it helped design it!
August 12th, 2008 at 8:20 pm
First of all, I LOVE Seventh Generation’s philosphies and have always wanted to try the products, but can never come up w/ the extra cash. I also didn’t know that Sheryl Crow & Sara Evans were “spokeswomen” for their new Wee campaign. An awesome company w/ awesome women role models, what a perfect fit!
August 12th, 2008 at 8:24 pm
I learned toys made of wood are safer for our kids as well as the fact that our air inside the home is worse than outside. Who’d have thought?!
Thanks for the opportunity to enter!
August 13th, 2008 at 12:29 am
They re an envirometally friendly company who strives to make products safe for the whole family and the enviroment.
August 13th, 2008 at 4:36 am
I like that they have teamed up with like-minded innovative companies such as Rickshaw and Ideo to bring their design ideas to fruition, while keeping their products safe and made from sustainable materials. I love their Wee Generation Baby Bag.
August 13th, 2008 at 4:41 am
Wee Generation is a unique collaborative partnership between Seventh Generation, Healthy Child Healthy World, and Rickshaw. They offer safe health products for your children and the planet. Pretty great partnership.
August 13th, 2008 at 4:53 am
I learned that Wee Generation has created a diaper bag that is gender-neutral, easy to clean, and lightly colored on the inside so it isn’t a black hole for smaller items.
August 13th, 2008 at 5:09 am
I actually like all their products and with my baby boy coming soon would love to win! I probably like best the diaper bag…with two girls and now a boy I need more gender neutral items! And I love the pockets and easy to clean of course!! Thanks…
August 13th, 2008 at 6:17 am
I learned “Wee Generation is a unique collaborative partnership between Seventh Generation, Healthy Child Healthy World, and Rickshaw.” I really love the sites learning section– especially interesting…how polluted our indoor air is. thanks!
August 13th, 2008 at 6:43 am
I love that they use not only “green” materials, but renewable ones to make their products.
August 13th, 2008 at 6:44 am
I subscribed! =)
August 13th, 2008 at 6:45 am
The air inside your hourse can include formaldehyde, carbon monoxide, secondhand smoke, asbestos, lead, and volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds, so buy and use natural products to help eliminate those problems.
August 13th, 2008 at 6:53 am
I learned that Wee Generation is a unique collaborative partnership between Seventh Generation, Healthy Child Healthy World, and Rickshaw. It is great that Seventh Generation makes healthy baby products…and I have used the diapers and love that they are chlorine free!
August 13th, 2008 at 7:00 am
I love the fact that it is Cradle-To-Cradle Certified fabric. That is difficult to find.
Thanks!
August 13th, 2008 at 7:02 am
I think it’s great that wee generation based so much of their products on what was convenient for parents and caregivers, who knows better? I checked out their Healthy Child, Healthy World partner, which freaked me out after reading the Triclosan article! Everyone needs to check out their antibacterial stuff and make sure that is no where near them!!!
August 13th, 2008 at 7:12 am
I learned that, for 16 years, Healthy Child Healthy World has been the national leader in safeguarding the health of children and protecting them from harmful environmental exposures-very neat!
August 13th, 2008 at 7:14 am
I learned you should use glass bottles inplastic to avoid transferring plastic toxins to your baby. Great company, and my sis just had a baby. I would love this kit for her!
August 13th, 2008 at 7:34 am
Something I learned . . . well I think realized is a better word . . . was that cleaning products leave a film on surfaces and fumes in the air and we should use organic cleaners. I am always careful not to use noxious chemicals around my daughter, but I never really thought about the residue. . . hmmmm guess I need to switch over to exclusively green cleaners.
August 13th, 2008 at 7:38 am
Sheryl Crow has a kid? Huh.. interesting.. I like that she had an eco-baby shower. I’m not sure there’s enough eco-friendly items to register for at Wal-mart or Target..but it kinda puts people on a mission.
I think it’s a good gift to give my sister for her 6th kid..yeah, 6..she’s very fertile.
August 13th, 2008 at 7:44 am
Wee Generation is a unique collaborative partnership between Seventh Generation (safe and better for the environment baby products), Healthy Child Healthy World, and Rickshaw (making earth friendly bags).
August 13th, 2008 at 9:13 am
What a great company! Wee Generation is a project of Seventh Generation, Healthy Child Healthy World (formerly Children’s Health Environmental Coalition) , and Rickshaw.
That bag looks fantastic!

August 13th, 2008 at 9:50 am
They have a great list of Green Nursery Tips that includes the suggestion to open windows since indoor air can be up to 5 times more polluted than outdoor air. Eeep!
August 13th, 2008 at 10:50 am
I didn’t realize that conventional food could contain synthetic chemicals..pesticides I had heard about! I also like the links to solutions for the problems.
August 13th, 2008 at 11:29 am
I didn’t know that the air inside your house is that bad! it’s a nice day today so I have the windows open already!!!
August 13th, 2008 at 1:53 pm
I learned about a great way to scent your home that is safe. Place lemons or other herbs into a pot of boiling water. Much less toxic than fake air freshners.
August 13th, 2008 at 2:48 pm
Uses fabric made out of 100% post consumer recycled plastic bottles. That’s pretty great.
August 13th, 2008 at 2:50 pm
Subscribed to RSS.
interesting site.
August 13th, 2008 at 3:42 pm
I like that they provide verification of their “green-ness” A lot of companies say that but they can’t/won’t back it up.
August 13th, 2008 at 5:18 pm
Like the others, I learned that Wee generation is a collaboration between Healthy Child, Healthy World, Seventh Generation, and Rickshaw. A lot of the tips and facts I had read before and they still are alarming and can be overwhelming.
August 13th, 2008 at 8:36 pm
I never know that Sheryl Crow was a great big Eco-lady. Wonderful to know! I have alot respect for her.
August 13th, 2008 at 9:40 pm
I liked the nursery tips!! It was shocking to know that the air inside our homes can be up to five times more polluted than the air outside!! Who would have known!!! From now on, I will keep my windows open whenever I can!!

There is a lot of good information on the site. I especially liked that itencourages all of us to do our part by making responsible choices and following the 5 Easy Steps.
Step 1
Manage Pests Safely Pest control products like pesticides and flea collars contain some of the most toxic substances found in the average home. Learn what to look out for and what to use instead.
Step 2
Buy Non-Toxic Products Household cleaners, personal care products, and even home furnishings often expose us to unhealthy chemicals. Here’s how to keep things clean and fresh without these worries.
Step 3
Clean Up Indoor Air Remarkably, the air inside the average home is 2-5 times more polluted than the air outside. These crucial ideas will make sure you and your baby breathe a whole lot easier.
Step 4
Eat Healthy, Shop Organically From pesticide residues to synthetic chemicals, conventional foods contain a host of unhealthy things we shouldn’t eat. Learn what to eat instead and why organic food is best.
Step 5
Be Smart About Plastics All kinds of plastics are used in everything from food containers to toys. Find out which are safe, which aren’t, and how to steer clear of any unhealthy chemicals they can expose us to.
August 14th, 2008 at 9:29 am
I learned that not only is Wee Generation a partnership between 3 different companies, but that they asked parents, grandparents and caregivers what kind of features they would like in a diaper bag and turned all of these ideas over to the top eco designers of the company and they designed the Earth’s best baby bag. Thanks so much for a great giveaway, this would cme in handy for my soon to be here newborn!
August 14th, 2008 at 12:01 pm
I learned that they have created the first diaper bag for Cradle to Cradle certification. What a wonderful prize!
I hope to win.
August 14th, 2008 at 1:33 pm
I learned that there is such a company with environmentally safe products. I was only aware previously of Seventh Generation. Such producta are long overdue and the diaper bag and other products are great.
August 14th, 2008 at 4:06 pm
I liked the alternatives for pest control. I had no idea that for ants, you can sprinkle red chili powder, paprika or dried peppermint. Wow! Thank you for all you are doing for our world and our little ones.
August 14th, 2008 at 4:47 pm
I knew that there were potentially harmful chemicals in plastics, but I wasn’t sure which numbers were safe. I really like that there’s a company not only trying to offer products that are eco-friendly, but working to educate the public as well.
August 14th, 2008 at 7:25 pm
I was surprised to hear that Healthy Child Healthy World has been around for over 16 years. I think their work is important and it looks like the continue to make important strides.
August 14th, 2008 at 8:07 pm
We just adopted a poodle from animal control on may 2nd, I use the monthly flea control.
I use to use flea collars years ago on our pets. I never new since they were safe for the pets that they were toxic to my family.
Thank you for all your time, effort, information and energy you provide to keep us up todate with all the sources out there and for providing us with these contests to win some awesome and unique prizes.
If I win this will be a great gift to my new grandson son.

August 15th, 2008 at 6:41 am

August 15th, 2008 at 7:09 am
I can’t believe that the EPA found that inside our homes is up to 5 times more polluted that the air outside. That is crazy. Thanks for the giveaway.
August 15th, 2008 at 10:45 am
