Green Shoes Made of Earth
From the goddess of well-being in Celtic mythology, Ahnu Footwear balances work and play, as well as business goals with social responsibility. Ahnu uses certified post-consumer recycled paper in company catalogs and packaging, and their nonprofit, earthy commitment is visible throughout the brand. The Sequoia ($100) hiker I wear now is breathable with mesh uppers and full support around the ankle. A snug heel cup translates to superior traction on gravelly roads, packed dirt and paved roadways. The patented lacing system makes me feel like I‘m wearing ruby slippers every time I lace up those puppies. Bonus: The shock dispersal plate in the forefoot prevents toe stubs without weighing me down. Love them! www.ahnufootwear.com – Nicole Dorsey Straff

Busy parents can sigh a breath of relief: Greenie Tots are healthy meals for kids that don’t require cooking. The brainchild of Jamie and Jalea Hemmings, who wanted to ensure their son Jayden had access to round-the-clock all-natural food, Greenie Tots are frozen entrees—meatless, and minus hormones, pesticides, and high-fructose corn syrup—that arrive straight to your doorstep in eco-friendly recyclable packaging. All Mom and Dad need to do is simply boil it or pop it in the microwave. Little ones between six and eight months can enjoy purees of organic pears, peas, carrots, and apples; while Pear and Apple Puree with Oat Cereal and Pasta Marinara with Lentils appeal to babies ready for something to chew on. The Chicken, Spinach and Cheese Quesadillas, and Macaroni and Cheese with Peas for big kids, may leave parents wishing they offered Greenies for grownups! www.greenietots.com- Alia Akkam
