The GreeNees are eco-friendly dolls, created by a 6 year old girl named Dylan. Together, these six dolls promote environmental awareness. They include Mr. GreeNee, who fights Global Warming; Mrs. Vision GreeNee, the Organic Fanatic; Val, the Animal Lover; Henry, who advocates Solar Power; Dakota, the Recycling Machine; and Gap, who promotes Water conservation. What’s so cute about these dolls is the fact that they’re based on the drawings of a 6 year old, and in their creation, retain the asymmetry that makes them special, while still teaching children about living green. You can view these adorable dolls at GreeNees.com. While prices aren’t yet listed on the site, they will be available next week for $20.

These dolls are a flashback from my youth when I had a bunting doll of my very own. He was not nearly this nice, though!
