KidBean.com is thrilled to announce the debut of their new Organic Hemp Children's Sneakers!
These amazing children's shoes are 100% vegetarian (vegan) and are: cruelty-free, sweatshop-free, leather-free, and are quite simply the most sustainable children's shoes you can buy!
They are made with only environmentally-sound materials, including organic hemp uppers and soles made from reclaimed used tires."I am so excited about these shoes!" says company owner and founder, Melissa Zenz.
"For years, I have been searching for an eco-friendly, vegan shoe for kids.
This is one of the top products sought by nearly all vegetarian and vegan parents?it's mentioned in all of the discussion boards, e-mail lists, and magazines.
I could not find anything on the market that met our standards, so I decided to make them."The process began with selecting the materials for the shoes.
"I prefer natural fibers to synthetics," says Ms.
Zenz,
"especially for children's shoes.
Hemp is durable, comfortable, breathable and non-irritating to children's sensitive skin, and is very resistant to degradation from mold, bacteria, salt water, sunlight, abrasion, and chemicals.
It is also completely biodegradable, so the environmental impact is minimal."For the soles, KidBean.com chose recycled rubber from reclaimed tires.
The laces are also made from soft, durable hemp, and are "strong enough to endure the frustrations of a child learning to tie her shoes!," according to Ms. Zenz.
She continues, "We have had so many requests for lace-up shoes for toddlers, so we needed to ensure our shoes would meet the specific needs of that age-group.
We made sure the footbed had extra padding so it would be stiff enough to provide optimal support for beginning walkers, but still be flexible enough to offer maximum comfort."To ensure their new organic hemp kids shoes were made with the highest-quality materials in the most environmentally-sound methods possible, KidBean.com turned to Ecolution, an industry leader in manufacturing hemp footwear for men, women, and most-recently, children.
All of their children's hemp shoes are made from natural, chemical-free, organic hemp in their factory in Romania, where the company is politically, socially, economically, and environmentally responsible.
Ecolution firmly believes in fair trade, and ensures that its workers have safe and comfortable working conditions with opportunities for advancement.KidBean.com's new Organic Hemp Children's Sneakers are currently in production, and are available for pre-orders with deliveries scheduled for the beginning of June.
They will be available in kids sizes 4-12 in black, brown, red, orange, purple, natural, navy blue, and sage green.
They retail for $28.50 a pair.
Wholesale inquiries are also welcome by contacting e-mail protected from spam bots."This is so exciting because it's exactly what we strive to do."
It has been KidBean's goal since its inception in 2001 to launch environmentally-friendly, vegan products into the mainstream market by making them attractive, durable, and affordable.
"We feel the price is very competitive," added Ms. Zenz.
"Especially for a product with the added benefits of being earth-friendly and completely vegetarian."Envegan, Inc.

'Re-tiring' Old Mulching Routine Paves the Way to Ten Worry-Free Years
(ARA) - The yearly routine of digging up last year's mulch and replacing it with a fresh supply can be time consuming, messy and expensive. But one new product can put consumers on the road to a full decade of worry-free mulching -- and that road is paved with recycled rubber.Each year, millions of truck tires are recycled nationwide. The rubber from these tires does not rot, fade or break down, even after years of exposure to the elements. As a result, discarded tires are treaded treasures for Rubberific Mulch, which gives new life to old tires by turning them into one of the longest lasting and safest ground coverings on the market.
"Not only does Rubberific Mulch help the environment by recycling old tires that otherwise would languish in landfills, but it offers time- and cost-saving alternatives to traditional mulch," says Mike Miller, Rubberific Mulch president.
"It has the appearance of wood-based mulch, but with a unique durability that will last for ten years,...

Jogging Stroller Safety Tips
Strollers offer a wonderful and convenient service to parents and caregivers.
The first priority in choosing a stroller should be safety.
To prevent tipping, choose a stroller that has a wide base so even when your child leans over there is no chance of the stroller tipping.
If you purchase a stroller that includes a recliner position check the stroller to make sure the stroller does not fall over backwards when the child reclines.
Remember to use the stroller seat belt at all times.
If your stroller has a basket, use that for purses and bags rather than hanging these items over the handles.
The basket on your stroller should be placed over the rear tires.
To prevent accidental folding of the stroller always use the locking device.
The brakes are used to limit the rotation of the tires when the stroller is at a complete stop.
Make sure you do not accidentally pinch your...
