Green Babies/Eco-Friendly Ways To Prepare For New Baby
From The County Zero Waste Team:
Know someone expecting a baby? There are dozens of ways to welcome a new baby into the world while minimizing your impact on the planet.
Go second-hand. Give baby items another life by using them again! Many items can be washed and sanitized in the dishwasher or washing machine.
Websites like encorebabyregistry.com help you prepare for baby’s arrival by registering for previously used items. Many women have received all of their needed accessories (crib, stroller, high chair, clothes, etc.) second-hand!
Think “reduce & reuse.” Buy-nothing groups on Facebook Read More
