These days, budding green activists are focusing on efforts closer to home. For the younger end of the tween spectrum, this is starting with their toys, as evidenced at the recent Toy Fair, where a new round of eco-minded toys was unveiled. Clementine Art is selling Natural Modeling Dough that features earthy colors outside of the typical Play-Doh spectrum, is made of all-natural, non-toxic ingredients, and is dyed with ingredients like turmeric and spinach. According to Toy Industry Association spokesperson Reyne Rice, 2010 will be the year in which green toys become affordable. One example is this butterfly rearing kit that educates tweens about raising and nurturing butterflies from caterpillars by allowing them to connect with nature directly.

H&M  announces its first ever range of skincare with certified organic ingredients. Debuting in stores at the beginning of March, the range of everyday essentials includes shower gel, body scrub, body lotion, hand cream and lip balm, all of which are based on natural and organic ingredients and are certified by Ecocert. The products are available in the fragrance combinations of raspberry and melon or lavender and mint, and are accompanied by make-up and toilet bags made from organic cotton.
