Everyday we hear of more things in our environment that can harm us. From drugs in our water and hormones in our food to toxins in our cleaning products, it seems that everything causes cancer. When it comes to our babies, we moms sometimes wish we could keep them in a bubble for the first few years of their lives. What can we realistically do to raise a natural baby in a toxic world?

1) Breastfeed

Breastfeeding gives both baby and mom many health advantages. For the purpose of this article, I’ll mention just a few, like the fact that breastfed babies are less harmed by pesticide exposure. They also fare better if you choose to vaccinate, suffering fewer reactions. Even though sometimes the media reports on environmental toxins found in mom’s milk, what is often left out of the picture is that the same toxins are found in cow’s milk, from which formula is made. And since breastfed children enjoy greater health even in adulthood, breast is still – and always will be – best.

Once baby is using a cup or if you’re pumping and offering bottles, be sure to use glass or BPA free bottles and cups. Bisphenol-A is a plastic additive that has been linked to cancers and other serious health issues. While we can’t avoid plastics entirely in our modern world, reducing the cumulative exposure is important. You can thankfully find BPA free bottles and other feeding products by doing just a little digging.

2) Cloth Diaper

Grandma was right – cloth diapers really are better for your baby. They mean less diaper rash, less allergy, and more money in baby’s college savings fund. Cloth diapers are much more fun nowadays. They’re made from modern fabrics that wick moisture away from baby, have waterproof covers, and are darn cute to boot! An added plus is that cloth diapered babies tend to potty train several months earlier.

3) Natural Skin Care

Who doesn’t love that new baby smell? Of course, we need to be careful about what we put on our baby’s sensitive skin. Since the skin absorbs what we slather on it, if we wouldn’t eat it, we probably shouldn’t put it on our baby’s skin. Some ingredients to avoid are: parabens, synthetic perfumes, talc and SLS (sodium laurel sulfate).

Your baby really doesn’t need much on his skin, but if you can’t resist, try the Earth Mama Angel Baby, Weleda or California Baby product lines for safer alternatives.

Taking care of what goes in and on your precious baby is important since it can impact his health for the rest of his life. Instead of worrying about what you can’t change about the world we live in, focus on what you can change for the better.

Climate change is one of the most complex and urgent scientific and social issues of the 21st century. Despite increasing warnings of the dangers of altering the Earth’s climate, we continue to release more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Those who cannot hold us accountable today-such as future generations, the global poor and nonhuman species, will be harmed the most by our failure to change course.

Tracey Bianchi is a married mother of three young children, living in Chicago. Her concern for the environment and its effect on her family and future generations inspired her to write Green Mama: The Guilt-Free Guide to Helping You and Your Children Save the Planet.

Bianchi earned a master of divinity degree and is a frequent speaker and writer on topics of Christianity. Regardless of your religious beliefs or denomination, and whether or not you have children, Green Mama will enlighten you to the earth’s dwindling resources; and how you can help their preservation.

Here, the topics of carbon footprints and carbon offsets related to climate change are highlighted, along with using our purchasing power and greening holiday traditions.

Carbon Footprint. The day we’re born we begin leaving an ecological footprint on the world. Bianchi notes that Genesis I invites us to be stewards of the earth. “Sadly we take more than we were ever given and leave a bigger mark than the earth can handle,’ she says. A carbon footprint results from carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere as a result of our lifestyles. Driving a car, flying in a plane, heating our homes and running appliances are all contributors. Ultimately, we want to tread lightly on the earth whenever possible. This includes limiting our water usage, walking instead of driving, and using clean, biodegradable products.

Carbon Offsets. Carbon offsets are carbon credits you buy from nonprofit organizations; and are often viewed as “apologies to the planet.” Your tax deductible purchases help better the environment in various ways, including planting trees in the Amazon and protecting wildlife.

Purchasing Power. “A truly sustainable and planet-friendly life will take every day tasks like drinking coffee and getting dressed, and whenever possible, turn them into ways to make a difference,” says Bianchi. Whenever possible, make your purchases count.

Fair prices help keep farmers and the communities they serve in tact. Fair trade companies support the small growers vs. their corporate counterparts. They also treat their workers with dignity and respect and ban child labor. Fair trade products may cost more, but many are made with ecological integrity, aim for sustainability and preserve the environment. To exert your purchasing power:

Shop near home. Support local businesses vs. big -box stores, and your community will benefit in a variety of ways. This includes more tax dollars for schools and maintained downtown rental prices, due to its vitality.
Eat locally. Many local restaurants offer unique dishes inspired by family traditions, vs. menus devised by distant corporate headquarters. They’re also apt to serve area seasonal cuisine not available through national restaurant chains.

Green Traditions-Celebrating Holidays and Special Events. “Family traditions are a great time to make some eco-friendly changes that draw your family closer to creation,” says Bianchi. Here are some ideas for greening your special occasions:

Establish family traditions that celebrate events like Winter Solstice or Summer Solstice. Donate duplicate gifts and unwanted toys to charity vs. exchanging them at the store. Go paperless when wrapping gifts-use kid-friendly pillowcases for children’s presents and canvas bags for adults. Green up invitations, thank you notes and holiday cards-send electronic greetings instead. Decorate more naturally during the seasons-use gourds at Thanksgiving and patriotic flowers on the Fourth of July. Plant a tree commemorating a special day or in memory of a deceased family member.

Climate change is an ecological concern today and for future generations. Explore more about the topic; and help promote awareness with friends and family. Use your purchasing power and special holiday celebrations as symbols of its importance.
