A few things I have encountered recently while shopping that I thought would be of interest:
Positively Fourth in downtown Santa Rosa is Green Mommy friendly - from what I saw. I bought a couple of shirts from a company called "Green Label Organic - sustainable threads". Nice shirts, but I was most intrigued by the tag and label. The tag reads: "Certified 100% organic cotton, garment dyed with low impact dyes, printed with Rehance (c) - absolutely no plastics or harsh resins used, sweatshop free, and made in the USA." The tag on the shirt (which is one of the tagless kind) reads: "sustainable threads, please use non-toxic, biodegradable detergents, save energy - line dry (use dryer if you must), okay to iron - printed with Rehance (c) technology - there is no plastic on this shirt (do people really iron t-shirts?)"
Cute. And there was no plastic - the tag was attached with a pin and twine.
I went shopping at Pacific Market today and noticed an alternative to 7th Generation feminine products. Natracare is 100% organic, unbleached cotton. The liners are not indiviually wrapped like 7th Generation are. They had a large offering of products. The market also carries Glad Rags, Diva Cups (2 sizes) and the Diva cleaner.
On that note, I have tried the Luna Pads and find it okay (a little bulky). I am happy about the lack of landfill I contribute now. Anyone else trying it?
There is a big empty space in a shopping center on the east side in Petaluma where a JCPenney used to be. I am hoping the 4th Pacific Market opens there. (don't know there will be a 4th - but I am hoping!)

Came across your blog. Just wanted to tell you how much I like it. You have a lot of really good information and post here. Thank you
Sad to say the Diva Cup did not work for me. I think it has to do with my body geometry and I want to try another brand of cup. I haven't tried the Luna Pads. I got a couple generic ones from the emibeans.com website. They are a bit bulky, but good for overnight. I'm looking for a light weight one too. I too like the Naturacare. Until I get the cup figured out, that's what I'm using.
