Episode 35: BABIES and Sustainable Early Parenthood

Play Episode Listen Later Aug 23, 2020 45:22


Bringing a new tiny human into the world is exciting, joyful and more than a little intimidating. For one thing, the amount of stuff you need is just staggering: crib, bassinet, car seat, stroller, carrier, changing table, baby clothes, swaddles, diapers, breast pump, bottles, maternity clothes...the list just goes on and on. Weighing the goal of parenting sustainably against consumption-driven expectations is a challenge, so we wanted to offer some tips and tricks for new parents embarking on this amazing journey with sustainability in mind. We also reached out to our low-waste mama friend Megan (@zero.wasting.away) for her advice and she provided an amazing wealth of insight and knowledge! For every listen on the day this episode drops, we are donating $1 to Black Mamas Matter Alliance (https://blackmamasmatter.org/), an organization dedicated to supporting the health and wellbeing of black mothers before, during and after pregnancy.
