There are so many ways to raise your baby in an eco-friendly manner but some key points are bigger than others.

• Use cloth diapers
• Breastfeed
• Paint the nursery with non-toxic paint
• Buy an energy efficient washer (how many loads of laundry a year do babies create? I don’t even want to know)
• Buy organic baby clothing and bedding
• Use energy efficient light bulbs in the nursery lamp
• Make or buy organic baby food
• Check out baby books from the library instead of buying them (this one is hard for me; but it is a great tip)
• Use non-toxic cleaners around the house
• Buy fair trade coffee. Coffee! How does this relate to a baby? Believe me, you’ll need it and fair-trade is more eco-friendly than conventional.
