Green Kid Crafts
Announced as a Finalist in Green America’s People and Planet Awards!
Green Kid Crafts, a mom-owned, earth-friendly kids craft
subscription service, has been selected as one of ten finalists in Green
America’s People & Planet Awards, which will open for voting on August 2nd
at www.greenamerica.org/peopleandplanet .
As an environmentalist and a working mother of two young
children, Penny Bauder saw a need for a convenient solution that would allow parents
and kids to spend quality time together enjoying activities that spark
creativity and cultivate respect and love for the environment. She founded
Green Kid Crafts in 2010 to fill this need with fun, creative and
earth-friendly craft activity kits, called “Discovery Boxes,” which the company
sends out monthly to subscribers and gift recipients.
Green Kid Crafts was selected from hundreds of People and
Planet Award nominations to be one of ten finalists, three of which will win a
$5,000 prize. The award was established to recognize innovative entrepreneurial U.S.
businesses that deeply integrate environmental and social considerations into
their strategies and operations. The three winners will be determined by
public vote at www.greenamerica.org/peopleandplanet
-- we ask all interested parties
to log on and vote for Green Kid Crafts before August 31st. Winners will be announced in
September.
Since its inception, Green Kid Crafts has strived to be a
model for social and environmental responsibility. The company is certified
carbon neutral, Green America Approved and uses natural, sustainable materials
in its products. Further, the company works with local chapters of the Boys and
Girls Club to donate craft supplies and free art classes to underprivileged
children, and donates time and skills to empower women through mentorship
programs in Alaska where the company is based.
