Waste Management

Baobab Organics Clothing

You get your fruits and veggies from a farm out west, your milk delivered from Crescent Ridge, and that cloth nappy know-how from Diaper Lab.

You’re single-handedly sustaining the local sustainable community.

Keep it up with Baobab Organics, a New England-based company that specializes in threads for kids ages newborn to 2 years. Choose from striped hooded tees and matching pants for boys and sweet flower and paisley dresses for girls.

Both collections are made from 100 percent certified organic cotton or recycled cotton fabrics that are unraveled and respun into yarn for weaving or knitting.

So you can be sure that nothing goes to waste.

Available at Greenward, 1764 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge (617-395-1338 or greenwardshop.com).
