Ethical Underwear? Sure, Why Not.
We're going to go out on a limb and say if you've got money tied up in petrochemical pesticide stocks, this might be a good time to get out. The entire world is going greener, right down to their fair trade organic cotton underwear.

Yes, underwear.

We've recently been turned onto Peau-Ethique, a family-run French company very committed to the environment and fair trade practices. Their collection of super high-quality undies and sleepwear for kids is available on our side of the pond at Green Edge Kids. While it might sound a little frivolous to shell out $15 for a pair of boy's boxer-briefs, when you think about it, is there any item of children's clothing that makes more sense to be purged of toxic dyes, bleach and formaldehyde? Shudder to think.

My pick however are the pjs for girls or boys. So soft and yummy, all the organic stuff is almost just a bonus. -Liz
