Plenty of Hollywood celebrities profess their love of the environment and their green lifestyles. That ardor extends to their children’s clothes, but of course just any old socially conscious onesie won’t do. Thus, the rise of ultra-trendy kiddie clothing lines with an environmental bent.

Tiny Revolutionary T-shirts have shown up on the children of Sheryl Crow (with son Wyatt, left), John Travolta, Matt Damon, Courtney Cox and more. The makers say their kiddie T-shirts are “100 percent sweatshop free and earth-friendly” organic. Because a big chunk of the cost of a T goes to organizations such as Africa Aid and Hands to Hearts, these simple shirts can cost as much as Mommy’s Calvin Klein T ($40). And they’re funny, too. Among their cuter offerings are the Ghandi T proclaiming “Be the Change you Want to See in the World,” and the “More Milk, Less War” T-shirt.

The Little Seed is a tres-hip organic baby boutique in L.A. partly owned by actress Soleil Moon Frye. They offer all manner of baby goods, from bedding to toys, but their clothing is quite cute and made from organic and eco-friendly materials. They carry the Kate Quinn organic line (her kimono onesie, pictured at right, is $19) and Fauna’s hand-screen prints on long-sleeved onesies ($36).

Baby Bam is a an “eco-luxury” line of bamboo baby clothes that the makers say is soft, hypo-allergenic, anti-microbial and bacteriostatic. Their pajamas, $34, are silk-screened, and the $22 onesie proclaims “The World Awaits.” Oprah Winfrey has given the nod to their items, and besides celebrity pictures, their Web site has a page of links to other earth-friendly clothing lines.
