Tabitha Liddiard, writes the Organic for Baby and Organic In Style blogs, searching out the best organic and eco-friendly products for babies, children and adults. Products of good quality, excellent craftsmanship and–a certain hip and trendy style.

How do you eco?

Be aware of my choices. It sounds simple, but it takes conscience effort. Like going back to get my tote bag rather than using more grocery bags. Being willing to pay a little more for an eco-friendly, organic product rather than choosing the cheapest item available. My husband has even gave up his beloved gas lawnmower for a push mower. He gets a good workout with it too!

Why did you go eco?

I started doing research because I was hearing a lot in the media. There are a lot of scary facts floating around so I decided to research for myself. The more I learn, the more I try to change and apply these principles to my life. I want to make a difference for me and for my family.

What’s your favorite eco tip?

There are materials other than traditional cotton that are safer and better for the environment. Materials such as bamboo, hemp and soy. (Did you know that hemp will produce 1500 pounds of fiber per acre, whereas cotton will produce only 500 pounds per acre?) And these feel great too!
