Rodale.com's Nontoxic Back-to-School Shopping Guide
Find the safest products for your kids with our new back to school shopping guide!
![]() |
School should be a place where kids have the best chance to learn and grow. Unfortunately, many manufacturers of school-related products deserve an "F" for selling items laced with chemicals that are linked to developmental and learning problems, among other ailments. Some of these products also take a toll on the health of our planet, adding to the mountains of trash and waste that strain our resources and releasing toxic chemicals that pollute air, water, and soil. The good news is that parents, public health leaders, and advocacy groups have been calling for safer products—and marketers are listening. So there are more and more options for smart choices that protect your family's health. To help you navigate the sometimes confusing array of backpacks, book bags, lunch boxes, art supplies, and other educational accessories—and separate the truly healthful from the overly hyped—Rodale.com's editors have compiled this unique shopping guide to the healthiest, safest, kid-friendliest options on the market today. |
Based on extensive research and interviews and advice from child health experts, environmental specialists, and concerned parents, Rodale's Nontoxic Back-to-School Shopping Guide covers more than 150 specific products, provides dozens of creative ideas for materials and sources, and offers important guiding principles for evaluating other items you may find on your own. It's the ultimate handbook for equipping your kids to have a safe, healthy, nontoxic school year!

I believe children aren't
I believe children aren't well fed because the older ones aren't being informed about nutritional food, as well. I am trying to get my online nursing bachelors degree and I need healthy food to be able to study properly. It's pretty hard to keep in shape when there are so many fast foods around...

Tell me about it. I have two
Tell me about it. I have two masters in nursing online and sometimes I'm so surprised about the variety of unhealthy products available for children. Needless to say that when my kids go to school I want what is best for them. Every parent wants that, but what about being able to afford healthy products... Some parents find themselves in a situation where they have to choose between buying low quality products and sending their kid to school. Tough choice, huh?
