SAN FRANCISCO - For the fourth year Stevanne Auerbach, PhD - aka Dr. Toy - recognizes the Best Green Toys and Children's Products and the Best Green Toy Company. She provides attention to the kinds of innovative products and companies that are working towards making a difference in playthings and reducing the impact of production.
The award-winning Green products are made by companies striving to inspire children to appreciate the environment and help them learn to take better care of our natural resources. These companies are making products to teach children more about our planet or producing playthings that are based on Green principles. These are excellent examples of playthings that are made safely, are healthy to use and have plenty of other special values.
These green products constitute a small number among all the choices of play products available, but we need to start somewhere. As awareness grows more families are thinking and considering new directions that are safer, more balanced and healthier.
Maple Landmark Woodcraft has received the Best Green Toy Company Award for its C Blox and other products and in recognition of their leadership to better the environment.
For many years, Maple Landmark has been a leader carefully creating an innovative product line that effectively uses natural wood to make new products. They have shown leadership by founding a company based on creative use of kid-safe materials, producing toys in Vermont, and by recognition of the future by effective green business practices. They lead the way in changing production and work place environment to make a difference and to help reduce the carbon footprint. This recognition considers how the company uses sustainable eco-friendly ways to provide important playthings for children and families as well as products that educate children with green awareness.
Dr. Toy recognizes these Best Green Products and the astute companies making these products. They are each making a difference in their own way and making important contributions. Each step helps. Each step moves us towards a healthier home and community.
