Green Your Back to School: Barley & Birch Organic Clothing Giveaway

Have you finished your children’s back to school shopping? Have you started? Of course you have, right? Ha. Either way wouldn’t you love to send your children off to school in high style clothing with an environmentally friendly statement? Barley and Birch is an environmentally friendly children’s clothing line that includes hats, pants, lap tees, one pieces, tanks and tees – and they fit this bill 100%.

The clothing will delight your children with its colorful, fun, and educational designs. Parents will be intrigued with the fabulous quality of the clothing, Barley and Birch’s excellent business practices and the environmentally and socially responsible statement that each piece of clothing has. Personally, I also love the cute quotes you will find on the website, like the one above with “Cole had plenty of energy. He questioned the need for fossil fuels.”

Barley and Birch is completely focused on their impact on the environment, every part of the clothing line is environmentally friendly. Barley and Birch offsets their carbon emissions, uses only certified organic cotton and water based inks and is a mostly paper-free company. Any instances where paper is used, the paper is 100% post-consumer recycled.

Barley and Birch donates 10% of their profits to a variety of organizations which provides assistance for everything from educating rural farmers on sustainable agriculture to providing shelter to victims of abuse. Barley and Birch also works with some of the leading environmentally and socially responsible groups including, Cocoda, Madre, Green America, 1% for the Plant and Carbonfund.org. I love this and I think that donating to wonderful environmentally friendly organizations is essential to the health of our planet, that is why I donate 100% of my sponsor fees to The Nature Conservancy: Plant a Million Trees campaign. You can help me reach my goal of 1,000 trees planted by donated $1 here.

I received the Bluefeet: Look at ’em grove tee shirt and it is fabulous. It is super soft and comfy and the design is super cute. The Blue Footed Bubi is one of Eben’s favorite birds so he was immediately drawn to the tee. I was very impressed with the high quality of the tee and the colors are great. I absolutely love the The Bridge: A bold, modern marvel and Octi: Tentacles, but without the slime.
You can send your little one back to school in high green fashion too. Barley and Birch has been so great to offer ONE of my lovely readers your choice of an animal print tee shirt.

    I would pick the fleeing Octopus, the dancing seagulls, or the monkey couple. All would work best for boy or girl and are a subtle reminder to preserve the environment as best you can!
