Greenzys was created with children, parents and the environment in mind.
Greenzys is today’s premiere literary-based eco-friendly children’s brand. The brand was launched on the 40th anniversary of Earth Day and was an instant success in New York at FAO Schwarz and in Los Angeles at Fred Segal, breaking sales records at these prestigious retailers. Greenzys were featured on the cover of The New York Times, named a top holiday pick on Entertainment Tonight, ABC, Fox and CNBC, and praised by other major media outlets including People, Good Housekeeping, NBC, Mother Nature Network, Treehugger, and Kiwi, just to name a few. From teachers to critics; green organizations to mommy and green bloggers; everyone agrees. Greenzys is the #1 eco-friendly brand for children!
With the purchase of each Greenzys toy, a portion will go towards planting trees in one of our nations forests by The Arbor Day Foundation. Additionally, a portion from each purchase will benefit the Environmental Media Association.
As an environmentalist, father and grandfather, I see many attempts at “green” projects for children. What sets GREENZYS apart is their ability to convey an important message that both children and parents can understand. GREENZYS is helping everybody understand the importance of conservation in a fun, easy manner.
GREENZYS is a wonderful introduction to the green world. The environment is my passion and education for our kids is the key to our future. Plus, the animals are adorable!
GREENZYS is a reflection of my philosophies on green living. What a fantastic way to open up a dialogue with your children on the importance of conservation!
Greenzys is one of today’s best tools to teach children how to live green. The Environmental Media Association is delighted to be involved with GREENZYS.
Greenzys commitment to the environment will make a positive impact for generations to come.
I found my class was pro-active on green issues after reading The Greenzys book. The story was easy to comprehend and done in a child-friendly fashion.
