Green Planet Paints

Non Toxic

A gorgeous palette of colors made from natural mineral and clay pigments, in a plant-based (soy), zero-VOC paint. "Green Planet Paints was conceived in 1993, when Meredith Aronson, materials scientist and expert in clays and historic pigments, moved to Patagonia, Arizona. Surrounded by the blazing ochres of canyon walls, the electric greens of waterfall mosses, the shifting silvers of high-desert grasses and the multicolored hues of migrating birds, she was inspired to create a paint that not only reflected the beauty around her, but respected it. Combining her expertise in materials science with her knowledge of ancient pigment technologies, she began formulating a new kind of paint founded on three principles: beauty, performance, and sustainability. With the birth of her son in 2000, Meredith realized that her paint not only had to be beautiful, sustainable and durable, it had to be safe as well--with no exceptions. She began to experiment with simple, natural recipes for milk paints and clay paints, guided by her friends Bill and Athena Steen, renowned innovators in natural construction. Over time, she reformulated these simple paints to improve their performance and manufacturability. She incorporated her knowledge of Mayan Blue pigment technology to create stunning blues, and soon had a rich palette of colors inspired by the natural landscape around her."

Swanson Soapworks

Non Toxic

I found this soapmaker at my local farmer's market and was immediately drawn by the artistry of the simle swirls on the edge of each soap bar--akin to the swirl of frosting on top of a cake. Then I learned they make their soaps with a vegetable-based blend of water, olive oil, sustainably produced coconut oil, sustainably produced palm oil, vegetable shortening, sodium hydroxide (lye), essential oils (if scented), clays (if added) & spices. They make our bars in small batches using the traditional “stir the kettle” cold press method and use only pure essential oils, natural clays & powders, herbs from their garden and filtered water. I bought a bar, of course: Spicy Peppermint with Green Tea. Other scented varieties are more citrus and herbal than floral, also unscented.

Produce Freshies

Non Toxic

These little packets keep produce fresh--just like those highly-advertised green bags--but there's no plastic involved. Fruits and vegetables give off ethylene gas, which causes them to ripen. When produce is stored in a refrigerator, the ethylene gas accumulates, casuing produce to ripen and spoil prematurely. These paper packets hold zeolite pellets treated with nontoxic potassium permanganate, which converts the ethylene gas into inert water and carbon dioxide, so produce lasts longer. The Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI) has allowed the material in Produce Freshies to be used in certified organic production of food processing and handling according to the USDA National Organic Program Rules.  After three months of use, you can add the power pellets to any flower, herb or natural home grown garden as an organic fertilizer.
