Nicole Richie has come a long way since her Simple Life days, switching gears from the ditzy doppelganger of Paris Hilton to loving mother of her daughter Harlow (with another child on the way). In fact, the once famous-for-nothing reality starlet has been keeping very busy these days with eco-activism on a variety of fronts both at home to across the world.

Richie’s eco-endeavors begin at home with green products that will be as safe for her children as for the planet and that will preserve the planet as much as possible for the future. At a recent environmental charity event in L.A., Richie dished that one of her favorite green products is the chlorine-free diapers from Seventh Generation (she’s also a fan of the line’s natural dishwashing soap and recycled paper towels). Seventh Generation diapers are made from chlorine-free wood pulp, which is not only better for babies’ skin but also prevents dioxin pollution. You won’t find latex, fragrance or toxic addition in Seventh Generation diapers, either, making them a good solution for parents who want the convenience of traditional disposable diapers but in a greener form (although Nicole Richie should consider organic reusable Bum Genius diapers or flushable gDiapers if she wants to get even greener with her next newborn).

Daily Greenz #157

Greenzer applauds stars who use their celebrity status to raise awareness about living eco-friendly, from cruising around in hybrid cars to composting. Julia Roberts is particularly committed to reducing the amount of waste she and her family produce. Roberts used chlorine-free, non-toxic diapers for twins Hazel and Phinnaeus and was introduced to gDiapers when newest addition Henry came along. The flushable diapers, comprised of a reusable outer cover and flushable lining, cut down on the 50 million disposable diapers that are tossed in landfills yearly and don’t begin to decompose for up to 500 years. GDiapers’ Cradle to Cradle certification means that every material used to make these flushables is absorbed back into the ecosystem with no negative impact.
