Some celebrity parents go gaga for silly names; others green baby gear. The crazy-name game is beyond our scope, but we do applaud Hollywood’s penchant for raising eco-conscious tots. Seems when the maternal instinct kicks in, even the most gold-minded star’s heart turns green. Yes, stars can afford to buy the best eco-everything--but let’s not be haters. Instead, it's refreshing to see celebs wanting to make a positive difference. So on the heels of the big news of our new site dedicated to everything for the TreeHugger tot,  here are seven celebrity babies who we hope will use their rich eco-beginnings to sustain a greener future.

This 2-year old is one lucky tot! Not only is his mom America’s sweetheart, Julia Roberts, but he and his twins sibs, Hazel and Phinnaeus, are also being raised in a green environment. Mom Julia is totally into the hip eco-lifestyle and is making sure her kids are too. The actress is not only feeding her family organic food, but also growing it. Julia tells People magazine:

The children love it and I think it’s the best training for them. I think when children know their food sources they’re more inclined to eat what they’re growing because they’re so proud of it. To watch my kids eat kale is a pretty proud moment for me as a mom.

2. Jessica Alba and Daughter Honor Marie Warren

The daughter of actress Jessica Alba and her hubby Cash is one green baby. This 9 ½ month-old-baby is decked out in organic baby wear and sleeps soundly in top-notch Sage Creek organic crib sheets. Jessica vowed to be a green mommy, adding, "I drive a Prius and I try to recycle as much as I can. I bought a house, and I’m doing all eco-renovations." Prior to baby Honor’s birth, Jessica dropped big bucks on the ultimate green nursery with designer Kari Whitman.

I wanted to make this environment as non-toxic as possible. When I was doing research on furniture, I thought NurseryWorks was really cute. I told them I wanted formaldehyde-free wood and low-VOC paints.

3. Matthew McConaughey and Son Levi Alves's Buried Placenta

With two beach-loving parents, like actor Matthew McConaughey and Brazilian beauty Camila Alves, seems Levi is destined for a crunchy green childhood. Impending fatherhood inspired Matthew to get a green ‘tude. The actor whose motto is ‘just keep living’ also applied that earthy cred to his son’s placenta. He saved the placenta to plant it in an orchard. In an interview with CNN, the actor says he was inspired to do this after visiting Australia and seeing a tree that had grown with the placenta of a tribe of Aboriginals. "It’s going to be in the orchards, and it’s going to bear some wonderful fruit," says Matthew.

4. Nicole Kidman and Sunday Rose Urban's Locally-Grown Veggies

 

Thankfully for little Sunday Rose, glam mom Nicole Kidman ditched the crazed Hollywood life for a more peaceful one on a Nashville farm. Nicole and her hubby Keith Urban want their daughter to be raised in a simple and sustainable environment. As part of their country living, Nicole reveals to Vogue Magazine, she’s started to become more self-sufficient on their ranch.

I have an organic vegetable garden. This is a path I’d not taken before. My mum’s always gardened. My sister gardens. And I’ve now conformed to the Kidman women’s hobby of gardening.

Ok, so baby Nahla scored big time in the gene pool with gorgeous parents Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry. But beautiful and famous parents aren’t her only blessed beginnings. Mommy Halle is devoted to giving her baby girl an eco-friendly home life. The couple spent $60,000 putting together the ultimate environmentally sound nursery. Plus, Halle's a big fan of organic disposable diapers. She tells People magazine’s Web site, "There are so many things out now that you can use. I’m going to really try hard to make it all organic."

6. Kelly Ruherford and Son Hermes Gustaf Daniel's Toxic-Free Home:

This little guy is growing up to be mommy’s little helper. Gossip Girl star Kelly Rutherford, who’s currently her expecting her second child, says her son is already a big help around the house. Unlike most young tots, Hermes likes to help clean up and thankfully he’s learning to do it in a toxic-free way. His mom, a big greenie, uses Seventh Generation’s toxic-free products.

Hermes loves to help clean--kids love to do whatever you do. He sees me spraying things and I like the Swiffer, so we do a lot of Swiffering. He loves to help me and I never fear that if he does go under the sink, he’s going to get sick from chemicals in cleaning products.

7. Soleil Moon Frye and Daughter Jagger Joseph Blue Goldberg

Ok, so this baby girl has got a mouthful for a name, but mom Soleil Moon Frye made up for it with major access to all things green. The actress-mom (and former star of Punky Brewster) is co-owner of L.A.'s hip eco-friendly baby store, Little Seed. The store is one-stop eco-shopping for bedding, skincare, toys, and all things baby. So, it's no surprise Jagger arrived into this world equipped with all the right green goods. The actress revealed to People Magazine's Celebrity Baby Blog,

I was trying to figure out which would be more eco-friendly; to use all of her (first daughter) Poet's stuff, or get everything new from the store. So I did a little of both. I used Poet's changing table and armoire. I got an eco-friendly crib from the store, and all organic bedding...And a bunch of other goodies from the store, like rattles and teething toys.
