I am participating (although a bit late) in the Blog Action Day.

I easily found a link to a very pertinent article about how to go green with your kids toys.

My 6 year old has been diagnosed with ADD, however, we have reisted what the doctors have advised (medication) and instead are trying to treat his behavior with positive things, diet changes, and working with him to understand how his behavior affects those around him. I am happy to report that over the past 6 months he has really changed for the better!

What has this got to do with going green and toys? Well, one of the things that the D.O. my son is seeing pointed out is that most of our kids toys are made of plastic, and colored with who knows what from who knows where.

We are not making a conscious decision to reduce the plastic in that our kids come in contact with. It is very hard, EVERYTHING seems to be made out of brightly colored plastic.

Take some time to read the excellent tips over at Treehugger. Take a positive step and help your child, yourself, and our environment all at once!
