So you’re all psyched to be caught up in the green movement… you’re shopping at Whole Foods with your reusable bags… But what about your best friend?!?
Don’t leave Fido, Max or Fluffy out of your green changes! Good news – the Boutique Fancy Fluff (BFF) has taken over as the ‘Healthier, Happier, More Earth Friendly Online Pet Store!’ BFF offers everything from treats, toys, clothes and more for your pet! All items are hand-selected to be “healthier alternatives for pets with high-quality designs, more Earth-friendly and/or helping enhance the human- animal bond. Products are organic (from treats to shampoos), made on sustainable farms with humanly-raised livestock to dog to cat toys made from recyclable material. Other products include recyclable toys or biodegradable/degradable , made of soy ink or 100 % vegetable dyes.
Veterinarian Dr. Bonnie Valiente, VMD grew up in Philadelphia and is adamant about helping the green and healthy moment. She visits
and meets with vendors or supplier to go over product details to ensure their advertisements are backed by actions – So you know your loved pet will be safe! She also supports local causes – My favorite part of the site are the
monthly featured items that help homeless animals – a portion of the proceeds to go to local groups like the
Delaware County SPCA.
Fascinated by these products and Bonnie’s display, I decided to purchase organic banana peanut butter treats for my favorite dogs Maximus and Rachel. With their speed of food inhalation & persistence for more, I’d say they were QUITE excited by these treats!
Here’s some evidence:

Books from childhood (some read by teachers) have the power to stay etched in our memories forever. For me it’s books like Where the Wild Things Are, the Amelia Bedelia series and Little Women to name a few that I can still quote lines from to this day.
The Greenzys by the reputable children’s author Danielle Mentzer just hit shelves on Earth day 2010 and is a story with a message worth remembering. Greenzys is an “eco-friendly, literary-based brand” that parents and teachers alike should be happy to promote.
When GreenPhillyBlog was given an advanced copy of Greenzys to review I was pretty stoked. I love reading – kids book included! My take on the Greenzys book?

Rather than using dangerous sprays or traps, EcoSMART offers organic pesticide & insect repellents. Made from essential oils, they’re non-toxic – making them kid & pet-friendly.
This may seem like an oxymoron- How can you have a safe and non-toxic pesticide?

Chester County Bamboo believes that “bamboo is an integral piece of the sustainable puzzle.” The more one learns about Bamboo the clearer this philosophy becomes. Bamboo actually generates 35% more oxygen into the atmosphere than an equivalent stand of trees. This super plant can be harvested 3-5 years after being planted. An oak, maple or cherry tree require 30-50 years before they can be harvested.
John Kohler spent numerous years in the corporate world before launching Chester County Bamboo – a sustainable business he’s truly passionate about.Chester County Bamboo is the first in the Philadelphia area to specialize in bamboo and one of the first in the country to offer full service bamboo management and removal.
