Retailers are getting behind Earth Day in a big way this month with Disney Stores and FAO Schwarz carving out shelf space for new eco-friendly lines.

Each plush is made from soy fibers and non-toxic dyes with packaging made from recycled paperboard.
A portion of every GREENZYS purchase will benefit the non-profit Environmental Media Association (www.ema-online.org) as well as the Arbor Day Foundation (www.arborday.org) with the planting of a tree for each toy purchase between now and December 31.
