Late last year San Francisco banned toys in McDonald’s Happy Meals that contain excessively large levels of fat, sodium, sugar and all kinds of other bad stuff and now it looks like New York City might go the same route.  There’s gonna be more unhappy kids in NYC….

This week NYC Councilman Leroy G. Comrie, Jr. introduced a bill that calls for banning Happy Meal toys unless the meal becomes much much healthier.

The councilman believes that if McDonald’s would make Happy Meals a healthier choice for parents on the go, we’d all benefit.  And we couldn’t agree more, Comrie, well, maybe if you made the toys themselves eco-friendly too….

Eco-conscious designer Stella McCartney has made headlines recently with the launch of her newest project, a green kids apparel collection.

The Stella McCartney Kids Spring-Summer 2011 collection was launched just Wednesday and is already turning heads.  The collection features 100% organic cotton clothing and shoes made from natural and sustainable cork.

Speaking of her new collection, McCartney reveals, “Building from the basics of the launch collection, I wanted to use prints that would appeal to kids, such as animals, rainbows, and nature..”

“The whole idea was to make clothes that kids will enjoy; and that are not restrictive. To allow girls to be girly and pretty, but still have fun and mix in some tomboy unisex pieces.”

A percentage of the proceeds from the collection will go to McCartney’s family charity, the Meat-Free Monday campaign which aims to persuade people to be vegetarian at least once a week to lessen the environmental effect of the meat industry.
