A B E ’ S N AT U R A L LY B AC K TO S C H O O L

The coming school year is an especially exciting one for my family - the one year of our lives

in which all three kids will be in the same school at the same time! Orly, my youngest, begins a new chapter in life, as she moves to 1st grade, the beginning of elementary school. She’ll enter school wide-eyed, ready to experience “real” school for the first time. Leebie, my sandwich child, admitted to me this weekend that she’s “kind of” excited to have both of her siblings in school with her and to discover who her 4th grade teachers will be. Hersh, my oldest, begins the end of a chapter in his life, as he preps to rule the school as a 6th grader.

While we’re still enjoying the long, lazy days of summer, the Back to School season is creeping into our minds here at Abe’s Market. Whether your kids are heading into preschool, college or somewhere in between, we want to equip them with the best and safest tools to feed their natural curiosity, exploration and sense of wonder. From eco-friendly art supplies and healthful snacks for the younger set to chic gear and organic beauty products for the more mature set, our hand-picked back-to-school supplies have your family covered so you can enjoy the rest of recess knowing that your kids will be ready to blossom when the opening bell sounds.

Enjoy our Back to School Magazine and have a relaxing rest of the summer,

JonAbe’s Market Co-Founder

Welcome!

1. Switch to plant-based kid- and eco-friendly cleaners. Some states and municipalities now require schools to use green cleaners and more will follow. This is a smart step that drastically reduces indoor air pollution—a good thing for growing bodies and teachers alike. Pay attention to wipes that are used on tables where snack is eaten—kids shouldn’t be swallowing chemical cleaning product residues with their snack.

If you’ve spent the last few years carefully

vetting your baby’s toys, creams, and onesies

— the transition to nursery school can be

difficult. Suddenly, you no longer have any

control over what cleaning products are

being used or which finger paints are coating

those chubby little fingers.

Or do you? Chances are there are a few eco-

minded parents and maybe even a teacher

who would also prefer the preschool go

green. Here’s our failproof list of 11 easy

steps any school can take to make itself a

safer environment. Print it and take it to the

director. Gently explain that these steps are

a win for the school. Green is hot! It’s good

marketing. And they might even save a little

cash in the process.

2. Use natural hand soap. There is a lot of handwashing at preschool—and with good reason. But there is no need to add antibacterial agents like triclosan or synthetic fragrances to the mix – neither are good to have around small children, especially since their mouths are such finger magnets.

3. Reduce the use of paper products - and purchase paper containing recycled content. And when teaching kids to wash those hands, ask them to use one paper towel for drying. Some schools designate one reusable cloth towel per child—hung on individual clearly signed hooks—for this purpose. See if your kid’s school is interested.

Old paper boxes become exciting new toys.

4. If renovations are in order make a commitment to doing it green. From paint touch ups to redoing the surface in the play yard. No VOC (volatile organic compound) paints and green building materials are far safer for developing children—and administrators, too.

5. Many important developmental milestones are reached when playing with certain materials, but not all materials are safe. Ask your school to commit to finding the safest art supplies on the market. Some permanent markers, paints, modeling clays, and rubber cement aren’t ideal. Safer versions (that don’t contain hazardous fumes or toxic chemicals) are available. Teachers should be equally mindful of their supplies like whiteboard markers.

8. Adopt a natural snack program. If the school provides the snacks, suggest they get in touch with a local natural food store for a discount. Or they can buy in bulk online. If parents bring in part or all of the snack, adopt purchasing guidelines that include organic when affordable.

9. Ditch the plastic, especially vinyl which can contain hormone-disrupting chemicals and even lead. Pour (filtered tap!) water into reusable cups at snack time, nap on non-vinyl mats, and generally use materials other than plastic when possible. Many schools won’t allow glass because it might shatter, but stainless steel water pitchers and more are available and won’t leach their chemical components into your kids’ beverages.

10. Ditch the conventional exterminator in favor of safer methods like integrated pest management. Termites, mice, and more are a real nuisance and can be unsafe to have around kids—roaches are even a known asthma trigger. But bombing a preschool with pesticides adds insult to injury.

6. Ventilate! There’s a reason stuffy rooms give anyone—big or small—a headache. The EPA says indoor air is 3 to 5 times more polluted than outdoor air—even in cities. Opening the windows in the classroom is a great way to lower indoor air pollution, even in winter. What could be easier?

7. Double check! Hopefully your school has already checked to see if they have lead paint, but it’s a good idea to check caulking around windows and lighting ballasts, too. Depending on the age of the building, PCBs - manmade chemicals commonly used in electronics and insulation but that haven’t been manufactured since 1977 - can lurk in both. Learn more at the EPA website.

11. Educate! A preschool is a place where parents learn a lot, too. Set up a green committee that offers a few evenings of talks throughout the year on environmental issues that affect families and children’s health. If you don’t know where to begin, there are organizations that can help, like those featured on pages TK, TK, and TK.

The Elementary Years8 Ways to Encourage Kids to Protect Our Earth

1. That makes the first step simple: Encourage your kids to get outside!

Tag along as an interpreter as they lift rocks, catch tadpoles, and pluck flowers. Help them recognize the innate magic of nature that lies in the seemingly ordinary. Teach them that the natural world is a living puzzle whose interconnected parts each deserve respect, not only for the air, water, food, and other essentials they provide, but also for the beauty they offer. These are things kids can and should feel proud about protecting, and the best way to promote that pride is by making them active participants in its practice. Here are some strategies:

In elementary school, our children truly begin to spread their wings, and the openness with which they initially approach this process makes it an ideal moment to lay down a foundation of environmental ethics that will serve them—and our world—well.

We can begin this work by first teaching our children to view the natural world with a sense of wonder. Helping kids appreciate nature’s mysteries promotes instinctive empathy for them, and it is from such empathy that a desire to protect the environment flows.

2. Whenever you spot litter, encourage your kids to pick it up.

Explain that it can harm wildlife so we should always clean up after ourselves (and others when necessary) and keep the earth clean. That extends to the things we put in the air and wash down the drain. It’s all litter of a sort!

3. Let them help sort the recycling.

This is a great opportunity to talk about waste and the need to prevent it by repurposing the things we use (or the things from which they’re made). Tell your kids they should feel good about every piece of garbage they prevent!

4. Talk about making better purchases when you shop.

Explain why you’ve picked one product over another, and involve your child in the process by occasionally asking them which choice they think the family should make.

5. Get them cleaning with non-toxic, earth-friendly cleaners.

Tell them that just because something is for sale, that doesn’t mean it’s automatically safe. Where chemicals are concerned, they should always look at a product’s ingredients and pick the least hazardous option.

6. Grow something to eat.

Even if it’s just tomatoes in a pot, let them raise a plant or two from seed to harvest so they understand that food comes from nature and needs a healthy environment to survive.

7. Hunt down lights in the house that can be turned off to save power.

Explain why every watt matters. Put a nickel into a jar for each bulb they turn off and build a family donation to an eco-organization.

8. At dinner, go around the table and ask everyone what they did for the earth today.

There might not be something to mention everyday, but daily conversation keeps the subject active, and all you’ll need is the occasional positive report to know you’re successfully raising a future environmentalist!

Is Your Teen Toxic?When bodies are developing—as they clearly are with growth-spurting teenagers—they’re more vulnerable to environmental exposures and chemical damage. Which is why it’s unfortunate that teens tend to be wildly interested in products containing exactly the sort of chemicals they should be avoiding at this stage. Lab tests conducted by The Environmental Working Group revealed adolescent girls across America are contaminated with chemicals commonly used in cosmetics and body care products. They found 16 chemicals from 4 chemical families - phthalates, triclosan, parabens, and musks - in blood and urine samples from 20 teen girls aged 14 to 19. Studies have linked these chemicals to potential health effects including cancer and hormone disruption. Teens are said to use more personal care products containing these very chemicals than adults—17 products to mom’s 12. And boys aren’t immune to the allure of body care products, either. There have been plenty of news reports featuring teenage boys dousing themselves with deodorant sprays. http: / /www.rodale.com /deodorant-body-spray

So take a moment to sit down with your teen—or your niece or nephew or the kid of a friend—and talk about the very real hazards of chemicals in everyday products. Let them read the research for themselves. Then make some time to shop with them for safer versions of everything from lipsticks to perfume to nail polish to deodorants. The confusing blow that what they love isn’t safe for them can be softened when they learn you’re not suggesting they give anything up. You’re just helping them replace the bad stuff with something better. Besides, what teen won’t be delighted by a shopping spree and new cool products?

The blow that what they 6 isn’t safe for them can be softened when they learn you’re not suggesting they give anything up.

Off to CollegeStarting a New Life, SustainablyHeading off to college is more than simply moving up another rung on the educational ladder. From who we are to how we live, adulthood’s formal launch offers a blank canvas and the chance to set ourselves up to live more sustainably. Here are some thoughts on starting off right:First, take only a few things from home. You’ll want clothes, your computer, and a few other essentials, but that’s about it. You really can’t know what you’ll legitimately need until you get to your dorm. Less is more at this stage; the more clutter you start with, the less you’ll be able to see what your new life genuinely requires.

By the same token, resist the traditional dorm-decorating shopping spree—even if it’s on Mom and Dad. Any purchases should be made with a conscious eye toward avoiding unnecessary spending and stuff you don’t really need.

When the time comes to buy something, put a reduce /reuse /recycle ethic to work. Whether you’re considering a soap dish or a TV, start by asking yourself if you really need it. If so, see if there’s one of whatever you’re looking available at home. If not, try the local thrift shops for recycled options.

When buying new, choose wisely. Avoid cheap mass-market merchandise—it’s generally worth what it costs, which is not very much, and will likely require relatively rapid

Choose natural, sustainable materials rather than synthetics.

replacement. Opt instead for quality and durability. Try to choose natural and sustainable materials rather than plastic and other synthetics. Things made by hand, rather than in factories, are especially nice. When you shop this way, you’ll end up with less stuff, but the stuff you end up with will provide a long life of utility and even beauty.

Be forever mindful of diet. The freshman fifteen weight gain is no myth nor is the poor quality of many college cafeteria offerings. Start fostering better lifetime eating habits by aiming for a low-environmental-impact, high-health menu based on minimally processed whole foods, especially fruits, vegetables, and grains. Go organic when feasible. You’ll feel better.

Invest in an e-reader. From textbooks to the latest novel, e-books are cheaper, consume far fewer resources, and take up far less space than their paper counterparts. Talk to your college advisors about what they recommend where textbook access is concerned.

Finally, remember that even though the school pays for things like water, energy, and heat (well, with your tuition dollars), the planet ultimately gets the bill. Consciously conserving these resources will not only protect the environment, it will also train you to reflexively use less in the years ahead when the bill comes directly to you. And that’s part of what these four years are all about: Investing in your future.
