Even Target (sometimes pronounced Tar-zjay) is going green! I was pleasantly surprised to find several eco-friendly products available at Target which is known to carry decent products for an affordable price.
- First, for the off-to-college crowd, there were twin size organic cotton sheet sets, with several designs and colors!
- In the kitchenware aisle, I found this “OrGreenic” ceramic, non-stick frying pan which is free from PTFE and PFOA, both of which are a concern in normal nonstick cookware, due to the offgassing of vapors from the plastic coating.
- Finally, I found a line of cosmetics that is made with organic ingredients. Surrounded by numerous cosmetic lines that contain parabens and phthalates, here was a full half-aisle of a British cosmetic line called Botanics – Organic. It is made with 70-100% certified organic ingredients, and – most importantly- is affordable.
I don’t know how much “regulations” there are in being able to say you are organic pots or for cosmetics. Plus the cosmetics claim to be from England, we have no idea what their standards are to call something “organic”.
Yes- true about the pan. It’s always good to check into it. I was just pleased they even offered it! As for organic standards in Europe they tend to be better than here in the U.S.! : )
