Green Parent
Our Green Box Guide
One thing that our readers of the magazine really love is our 'green box guide.' Whether you’re the type of girl that thinks green is just a good colour to wear on a night out, or that green means re-cycling, we want everyone to find something in BabyGROE that they can relate to.

Bare Neccessities
"Want, Want, Want, that’s all you seem to do" Did your parents ever say this to you when you were a kid? Well we still do it. We’re always thinking of the next best thing. But when you have a baby, do you really need the added expense of having the latest mountain-terrain buggy with matching cosy toes?
For BabyGROE's answer to green parenting on the following issues Toys; toy libraries; slings; banking; recycling; fairtrade; holidays; transport; energy; clothes; second-hand goods; music and loads more click here

Green Shopping
We all know we should be supporting the local shops in our area, buying locally, supporting our farmers, using socially responsible companies (like the ones that work with babyGROE) and helping the environment in the process but wouldn't it be good if we could know a bit more in depth info about the products and services. Well, now you can. Read the different articles to get the lowdown and if there's something you're dying to know, write and let us know or start a topic in the forum. Happy reading!
