Know Your Crops

Not all foods are grown the same. Some crops are more likely to be exposed to herbicides like glyphosate, which is why knowing how your food is grown matters.

When possible, choose organic versions of foods that are commonly treated with pesticides and herbicides. Organic farming standards restrict the use of synthetic pesticides, helping you make more informed choices for your family.

You don’t have to change everything overnight — small, mindful swaps add up.

Know your crops. Read your labels. Choose what works best for your family. 🌎



Note: Glyphosate use varies by crop, country, farming practice, and regulation. Organic choices can reduce exposure to certain synthetic pesticides, but no food choice is completely risk-free.

PB&J is a back-to-school classic — but a few simple swaps can make this favorite lunch a little cleaner and healthier. See GLS approved picks.....

1. Swap conventional bread → choose organic or sourdough bread with simple ingredients
2. Swap sugary peanut butter → choose organic peanut butter with just peanuts (and maybe a little salt)
3. Swap jelly loaded with added sugars → choose organic fruit spread or mash fresh berries

A few mindful choices can turn an everyday lunch into a Green Life Swaps approved meal.

Small swaps. Big impact.

Green Life Swaps: Back-to-School Backpack Edition

A healthier school year starts with what we carry every day. Small swaps can make a big difference in reducing unnecessary chemicals and creating a cleaner environment for our kids.

- Swap plastic for a stainless steel water bottle
- Choose non-toxic lunch containers over plastic bags
- Pack organic cotton snacks bags or wraps
- Pick backpacks made with safer materials (look for PFAS-free options)
- Add a reusable utensil set instead of disposable plastic
- Choose natural snacks with simple ingredients

Our kids spend so much time with the things they bring to school — let’s make those everyday essentials safer, cleaner, and better for their health. 💚

The materials you bring into your home matter.

Furniture, rugs, and home décor can contain chemicals that affect your indoor air quality and overall well-being. Choosing natural materials like solid wood, organic cotton, wool, and low-VOC finishes helps create a cleaner, healthier space for you and your family.

Small swaps today can make a big difference for your health tomorrow.

What's in My Beach Bag?

A perfect beach day starts with a few intentional, healthier swaps:

100% Cotton Beach Towel/Cover-Up – Soft, breathable, and made with natural fibers.

Water Bottle – Hydration is non-negotiable, especially in the summer heat.

Clean Electrolytes – Replenish minerals and stay energized after time in the sun.

Real Food Snacks – Fresh fruit, nuts, or beef sticks, to keep you fueled without ultra-processed ingredients.

Mineral Sunscreen – Protect your skin with a zinc oxide-based sunscreen.

A Wide-Brim Hat – One of the easiest ways to protect your face while soaking up the sunshine.

Healthy living doesn't mean over complicating things—it starts with simple swaps that help you feel your best while enjoying life's little moments.

What's one thing that's always in your beach bag?

National Chocolate Day! Not all chocolate is created equal.

Recent testing has found that some chocolate products may contain concerning levels of heavy metals like lead and cadmium. While chocolate can absolutely be part of a healthy lifestyle, it's worth paying attention to sourcing, testing, and ingredient quality. A small swap to brands that prioritize transparency and third-party testing can help reduce unnecessary exposure while still enjoying your favorite treat.
