Toys will always make a child happy. However, today a lot has been said on the kind of toys that are available in the market. Many toy manufacturers forget their ultimate social responsibility and most of, disregard the safety of potential hazards that raw materials and toxins can do to the child that finds comfort in toys.

Earthentree is one of these toy manufacturers that have acknowledged the need to be eco-friendly. It is not primarily about making money or a name for yourself. A lot of the big toy producers have been hit and soon enough, they will find themselves facing more penalties rather than the profits that they had originally hoped for. In short, your lackadaisical outlook will always come back to haunt you no matter how big you have gotten.

Recently at the Green Festival in Seattle April 12-13, Earthentree got an enthusiastic response. “I am getting tremendous amount of response,” she told India-West. “I am getting emails every day for wholesale enquiries and retail and things like that. People are really looking for something meaningful.”

For her, it’s not just about making money, it’s being part of something that was meaningful and worthy, Shankar said.

“Being very socially conscious and being around people who have been doing such tremendous amount of work, that was always my need to do that,” she said. “I’ve done a lot of work on folk and tribal art as well. So this is always in the back of my mind, to be doing something (worthwhile).
