Diversity is a very favorite word for our generation, unlike for the generations of the past. They were amazed by standardization and by one-size fits all principles. Any customer could have a car painted any color that he wanted so long as it was black.

In that context if you have a baby and care about not only his or her future, but also about the Planet`s, waste no time and start green-raising it.
