Moms think green & spend green for their kids’ health
As the economy pushes families to scrutinize household budgets even more intensely, mom’s influence has solidly increased in all family purchases, according to a recent report from Experian Marketing Services reported on by Media Post News. 69% of moms report being “the most influential person in the household when it comes to making purchase decisions.”
And from organic milk to free range chicken, the trend is moving swiftly from thinking green to buying green. “The growth trend toward green purchases among younger moms, at this point, is outpacing the 35-and-older mothers by at least 5% a year.” The report attributes it, especially with moms under 35, to “more information available about the impact of green choices on children’s health.”
Bloggers this summer reviewing Pocket Purifier, the handheld germ-eliminating UV light from Purely Products, just in time for the back to school germ wars bore this out. 
Real Moms Real Views asked,”Why would you not avoid getting sick if you could? Well…TADA! You can! Did I ever test it out! I used it on my keyboard, my toothbrush, the sponge, my puppy’s toys, my cell…everything I could think of. Now you can kill germs without chemicals, isn’t that very green chic!?”
Or as RealMommy365 explained, “I have a large family with 8 children and that means I’m in a constant war with germs. I love that the Pocket Purifier is chemical free and so would my followers. Most of my followers are similar to me in that they prefer more natural choices when it comes to their families.”
After disinfecting stuff at home, it was time to take it on the road! First stop, the food court at our local mall. While the hubby did the ordering, I whipped out my new “toy” and began to sanitize the table. I had quite a few stares from people wondering what I was doing with that cool light.“

What steps do you take to protect your children from germs? And more importantly, tell us - would you be willing to zap a fast food table with a gizmo that looks like something out of Men in Black?
