Eco Lifestyle for your Kids
Almost everyone are going green and that includes your baby too. It’s always best to start off with the youngster for them to practice living a green lifestyle. Not only does it help reduce you and your baby’s impact, but they also may be healthier for your little one as well.
Having your toddlers on a green lifestyle includes food, clothing, cribs and others. So let’s start of with Green Articles advice on how to keep your baby on a Eco friendly lifestyle.
Clothes made with organic cotton are the latest trend in going green. Organic wardrobe is slightly more costly than your every day baby wear. Another solution is to share baby clothes with friends, neighbors, relatives, or co-workers who have children around the same age. Kids often grow out of their clothes before they are overused so trading enables you to add more choices to your baby’s wardrobe without spending the extra money. Of course, when trading, make sure you wash the clothes before using them in order to prevent the spread of disease or other illness.
To start, go by your local grocer or farmers market and pick up your child’s—or your—favorite fruits and vegetables. Because you will be preparing them on your own, get some that are easy to mush like apples, peaches, sweet potatoes, or peas. If you are on a tighter budget, try buying some vegetables frozen, like peas, because they are less expensive, can be bought cheaply in bulk, and the only ingredient is often just “peas.†If you have the extra cash and want to be super environmentally friendly, buy organic and/or local foods, which will help you to reduce your food mile footprint. See the Greeniacs article “Food miles†http://www.greeniacs.com/GreeniacsArticles/Food_Miles for more information).
Cribs & Strollers
For strollers, organic fabrics and non-toxic plastics are ideal. A great company that sells environmentally aware baby and toddler products is Stokke, which can be visited at www.Stokkeusa.com. They are not only huge environmental advocates, but their Xplory stroller was recently used in the new Sex and the City movie! And if you’d like some cute green bedding—the movement not the color—to go with your eco-friendly crib, check out www.wilddill.com, which sells a variety of organic baby bedding and other products. Non-chemically enhanced baby holders are out there! You just have to choose the one that is right for your child.
