Becoming Less

Eco Mom

Listen Later

Bizz chats with new co-host, Cara, about her tips on being an eco-mom.

 

Things we talk about:

  • Reusable Diapers
  • Reusable Wipes (See Sniffle Crate Pattern on Etsy)
  • Diaper services
  • Babies grow so quickly
    • Get clothing second hand
  • Get toys second hand, too
  • Choose toys from natural materials, avoid things that take batteries.
  • Formula
    • Choose concentrates like powder
  • Consider the materials that the formula comes in - metal cans are more easily recycled than a pouch or something with mixed materials
  • Baby food jars are only reusable if you have a use for them - and you end up with A LOT
  • Make your own baby food - it's just cooked, blended veggies
  • Maternity clothes are temporary - borrow or get used
  • Safety devices, such as car seats - know the history, or get it new. You don't want to skimp on safety!

    • Donate to support waste reduction at wastefree.ca or on Patreon
