I’ve explained that one of the springboards to creating this site was the new book The Lazy Environmentalist, by Josh Dorfman.  Based on “The Lazy Environmentalist” radio show on Sirius radio, the book’s tagline is “Your Guide to Easy, Stylish, Green Living.”  And he’s not kidding.  Every week I’ll highlight a find from the book - there is just so much to read about, in every aspect of living.  Of course, it goes way beyond kids - the book discusses travel options, pets sustainable housing, gardening…the kitchen and bathroom even get their own chapters!

This week I thought I’d show you the bedding collection from Cotton Monkey.  Cotton Monkey was created by a Dallas mom with a background in architecture and design, and a strong interest in sustainability.  The products are made with 100% organic cotton, and colored with either non-toxic, water-based dyes or peroxide (for the “Bright White” collection).  My personal favorite (from the picture) is the “Eyes of the World” collection.  Perfect for either a girl or boy, the modern design and vibrant hues would be a great focal point in any nursery.  Check out Cotton Monkey’s “monkey gear” as well - towels and gift sets that compliment any new monkey’s room…
