Who is Green Beans Anyway?

Who is green beans anyway?!

green beans was founded by a new mama out of a desire to offer for sale many of the wonderful products that had a great impact on the life of her beautiful son. It began with the purchase of a mei tai baby carrier and evolved into a philosophy on child-rearing that required nothing less than the safest, most instinctive and highest quality items. Of course many new parents begin to realize the importance of leaving behind a healthy and green planet for their children. This is why green beans is proud to offer a catalog full of items that help to lessen our footprint on this amazing Earth. We encourage you to consider making some small changes that can improve the lives of not only your child but generations to come.

      Cloth Diapers

   Cloth diapers will save you money and are better for the planet than disposables. Today's cloth diaper is as easy to use as a disposable and so much cuter! Using cloth on your baby can help to reduce diaper rash and puts soft, comfortable fabric against your babies skin instead of the harsh chemicals found in disposables. While cloth diapers may have a higher up-front cost, they quickly pay for themselves. Outfitting one child from birth to potty-training can cost as much as $2,000 in disposables. Compare this to the several hundred dollars that it costs to put your child in cloth. As a final incentive think of the 6,500 disposable diapers that end up in our landfills from EACH child (not to mention all of the poopy each of those diapers is filled with - ewww).

Baby Carriers

   green beans is pleased to offer several types of traditional baby carriers, from mei tais to wraps. Babywearing has many benefits to both baby and parent (trust us! you'll LOVE it!). Research has shown that beans who are carried cry less, and the closeness to their caregiver is good for mental, physical and emotional development. Wearing your baby also frees your hands for chores, gardening, socializing. Imagine not having to carry an awkward carseat around anymore!

Organic Cotton

Why organic? Organic cotton is grown without unecessary chemicals and has a low impact on the planet. Organic cotton farms support sustainable agriculture and by wearing organic cotton, you as a consumer support this practice as well. Plus organic baby clothing is so soft and more durable than regular cotton! It will feel wonderful against your bean's delicate skin. You can feel comfortable putting your child in organic cotton.
