Green Toys, a California company, makes toys out of recycled milk jugs. Kids "want to know what happens to the recycling after we recycle it," said company founder Robert von Goeben. "This makes recycling real." Among the company's eco-conscious toys are a mini gardening kit, a flying disk called an EcoSaucer and a jump rope.

GREEN TIPS FOR KIDS

WEB SITE DEBUTS CHILDREN'S SECTION

Http://www.Smart2BeGreen.com, which offers tips for greener living, is adding a Kid's Corner on June 2, International Children's Day.

According to the Los Angeles-based organization's president, Bill Gueringer, "The earth's greatest resource is not lumber, fossil fuel or precious metal. It's our children, who are learning to live a greener life at an early age. They have the opportunity to make the world a more sustainable planet than generations before them."

The new Kid's Corner will feature games, puzzles and kid-friendly tips that are meant to be both educational and entertaining and follow the Smart2BeGreen philosophy that small steps can make a big difference.
