The mom of two is apparently doing everything she can to raise her kids green and keep them safe and healthy.

Nicole Richie, who is mom to 2 year old Harlow and 7 month old Sparrow, is “obsessed with doing everything she can to try to keep her children healthy and safe, ” a friend of hers tells Life & Style magazine. The friend adds, “[She] insists on everything being organic. The food, the diapers, the clothing. She’s always at Whole Foods.”

So, how does Nicole stay green? She has said that she only uses Seventh Generations diapers for her kids, which are chlorine free and nontoxic. She also says, “we don’t use baby wipes – we use cloth with water.”

The friend of Nicole also says that Nicole doesn’t use cell phones around her children. “She thinks the radiation can be damaging and won’t let cell phones near her kids.”

Nicole also serves her kids organic food from her own garden. Her fiancée Joel Madden is a vegetarian so there is never a shortage of healthy and fresh vegetables in their home.

So how does Nicole’s children’s lives differ from her own? “Her parents let her do whatever she wanted,” says and insider. “Now she has strict rules.”
