The Bite:
Know a mama who's calling SOS? Hook her up with Super Trouper eco-living coach Manda Aufochs Gillespie, aka the Green Mama. Next Saturday, Manda's giving fellow 'rents the facts and fiction about toxic toys, greening diapers, and other stuff Chiquitita should know (dads welcome too). Also: Tuesdays, there's Green Mama Café, a more casual, weekly gathering where Manda leads conversations on anything eco (kinda like a self-help group sans emo outpourings), or check the upcoming DIY baby food talk with Dori from Maddy's Organic Meals. And if they/you have a kiddo in the Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! phase, for five bucks, sitters at Toddler Time'll watch 'em while you chat.
Wanna Try: 
Green Parenting 101 at the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum; Mar. 21, 10:30 am-noon; 2430 N. Cannon Dr. Map It (773-281-9828). Class, $20/members, $35/nonmembers; Green Mama Café drop-in, $5.

Cocktail Fact

Last December, Mamma Mia! became the highest grossing movie in UK history, beating out Titanic for the record.

Small Changes Add Up

If 10,000 Chicago Biters pick an organic cotton crib sheet over a regular one, we'll keep the weight of 1,857 love children in pesticides off the earth.
