Almost ten years ago, I began recycling. I had caught the reduce, reuse, recycle bug hard, and had no shame in taking cans out of the garbage and creating a recycling bin just for them.  While studying to become a massage therapist, I became pregnant with my first child.  Learning a holistic approach to wellness and discovering the toxins in our foods, clothes, and environment, I began my crusade into the organic world – to the amusement of my family, as I was a Burger King junkie as a kid. 

Fast forward a few years, my kids are 7 and 8 and I'm still trying to make a conscious choice to live mindfully, organically, and raise environmentally aware kids.  Although I enjoy searching for eco-friendly toys and snacks, it was incredibly time consuming and difficult to find multiple items in one place – for a reasonable price.  One day my kids came home from a birthday party with a goody-bag overflowing with plastic toys and candies that even they didn't want.  I knew we needed an easier way for parents to buy environmentally friendly treats and gifts.

Thus, Favor the Earth was born.
