Sprout's Green Blog Hop: THEME - Eco Friendly Summer products

Welcome to Sprout's GREEN Blog Hop!

The weekly blog hop for GREEN Bloggers to meet, share and grow our eco-friendly network and do 1 new green thing each week!

THIS WEEKS THEME IS: Eco Friendly Summer products 

This week we hope you will share some of your favorite Green must-haves for summer: beach, BBQ, and outdoor fun!

Since summer is all about being outside, here are some of my top Eco-Friendly products for this summer:

BBQ - Who doesn't LOVE a great summer BBQ?  From your skin to your food choices, let's have a great time!

** Insect Repellant (DEET free) - DEET is a chemical used to ward off insects, but in rare 
cases can have a toxic effect - is it worth it?  Try these great alternatives!

              Bugger Off All-natural insect repelling skin oil, by Valley Green Naturals


                                              BUG STUFF Natural Insect Repellant Spray


FOOD - From the meats that you grill to the herbs that you marinate them in - every choice resonates through your body from your taste buds to your bloodstream - choose wisely!
   
          Organic Meats / Veggies
Healthful, Wholesome and Humanely Made






POOL - Well, for those of you that are lucky enough NOT to be on bedrest in prime swimming season.....stay protected in the water!

** Sunscreen without toxins - Have you ever read the back of your sunscreen label?    Do you know what "fragrance" really means? Quite scary! Here are some much healthier options:

                                     Organic Protective Anti Aging Sunscreen with Chamomile & Helichrysum



Protective Wear - Always choose Handmade!
                                                                  SUN BONNETS

ECO-OPTICS by Modo 
 Did you know there was such a thing?
ECO is an eyewear collection made from recycled materials, 
UL Validated. Eco plants a tree for every frame sold!

WATER CONSERVATION
With it being SO hot outside, it seems that we all use more water!  Get creative and 
build this for your kiddos - Saves water through Low-Flow, yet still allows kids to 
play in cool water in the hot temps!!

Every week a new linky will be posted.
