Green Toys
November 18, 2009
Looking for some great green toys for Christmas gifts this year? Green Toys is a good place to start, particularly for ages 2 – 6. All of their toys are 100% made in the U.S., in California, to be specific. The parts aren’t shipped into the U.S. from other countries, they are all manufactured and assembled in California.
You know those plastic jugs you get your milk out of? Green Toys recycles those into their toys. In fact, every pound of recycled milk jugs used in the making of Green Toys saves:
- energy equal to 3000 AAA batteries
- electricity to power a TV for 3 weeks
- electricity to keep a laptop computer running 1 month
To complete their environmentally friendly product, all Green Toys are packaged in recycled corrugated boxes with no plastics, cellophane or twist-ties, and are 100% recyclable. I LOVE not having to take all that hard plastic that toys normally come packaged in to the loyal recycling facility.
Green Toys currently has 11 toys in their line including trucks, tool sets, dishes and outdoor toys like a jump rope and sand play set. Recently, FamilyFun Magazine named the Green Toys recycling truck in their TOP 10 list of toys for 2009.
With any Green Toys, you can feel confident that you are buying a safe and environmentally friendly product for your kids from a company that is practicing what they preach. You can buy Green Toys at several online retailers or search for a local retailer.
