		<description><![CDATA[Are you looking to raise a &#8220;green baby&#8220;? While parents certainly don&#8217;t want to bring up a child with jaudice, there are a number of eco friendly options available when it comes to raising baby green. Babies have exceptionally sensitive skin and very delicate immune systems so baby items need to be selected with care. ?Most people understand that residues from everything you put onto skin can be absorbed into the bloodstream and may also be responsible for rashes or irritation,&#8217; says Catherine Cervasio, founder of Aromababy. Petro chemically derived ingredients, such as mineral oil, are reported to reduce the skin&#8217;s ability to ?breathe&#8217;. Cervasio suggests less frequent bathing, less use of commercial products and a more natural approach to personal hygiene for babies and children. Organic and natural fabrics for clothing and bedding will expose baby to less harmful chemicals and dyes that could be potential allergens. Toys should also be made from natural materials such as wood and cloth. Plastics, while durable, are made from petrochemicals and can contain polyvinyl chloride which has been known to release potentially harmful fumes &#8211; you&#8217;d be amazed at just how much plastic your child is exposed to from birth. Food is another area where sustainable, organic choices can be made. First and foremost, breast milk is one of the most nutritious and environmentally friendly foods for baby &#8211; just consider the elimination of packaging and food miles. Andrew Radford, from the World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action, estimates that if every baby in the US was bottle-fed, almost 86,000 tonnes of tin plate would be required for 550 million discarded formula tins. Formula must also be heated up in plastic bottles, which of course, uses more energy and resources. ?A 3 month-old bottle-fed baby needs 1 litre of water a day for mixing feeds,&#8217; Radford says. Most parents find that they become much ?cleaner&#8217; and more conscious of germs when they have a young child. The temptation may be to bleach, sanitise and sterilise everything baby can get his hands on. Opt for natural cleaners such as bicarbonate soda and vinegar, they do an effective job and minimise the family&#8217;s exposure to harmful chemicals. By taking the extra steps to choose a greener and more sustainable lifestyle from day one, your child can get off on the right foot to being more aware and environmentally conscious.

		<description><![CDATA[According to 2003 figures from the Women&#8217;s Environment Network, it takes on average 22,250 MJ of energy, 75,000 ha of land for raw materials and 70 cubic metres of waste water is needed to manufacture enough disposable nappies for just one infant over the course of 2.5 years. Meanwhile, Jannine Barron, founder of Nature&#8217;s Child, an online retail store for natural and organic baby products, estimates that disposables can cost a family more than $3500 per child. Cloth nappies also have a substantial impact due to the amount of water and resources it takes to launder them. A UK study done by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) indicated that under ?average&#8217; conditions, a traditional cloth nappy had a greater environmental impact of 570 kg when compared to a disposable nappy that they measured to have an impact of 550 kg. The study highlights ?the importance of laundry choices for re-usable nappies in cutting their impact,&#8217; said a spokesperson from DEFRA. The study assumed that only three quarters of nappies were line dried and the remainder were tumbled in a drier. Washing nappies in fuller loads or line-drying them outdoors all the time was found to reduce impact by 16 per cent. The nappies were also assumed to be used on only one child when re-using nappies for a second child reduces the impact by another 24 per cent. Meanwhile, modern innovations have taken nappy production to new heights. Many varieties of eco-friendly nappies are now available, such as Weenees disposable eco-pads or Eco-bots, a disposable nappy endorsed by Planet Ark, which use bio-degradable wood pulp and modified corn starch bioplastics. The Dirty Lowdown on Disposable Nappies Consider these sizable facts on disposable nappies: ? Nappies are the third most common item, by volume and weight, in American, UK, European, Japanese and Australian landfills. ? According to Choice consumer magazine, 95 per cent of Australian babies wore disposable nappies in 2007. In China, only 6 per cent do; in India, 2 per cent.? It takes over 10 full sized trees to produce the number of nappies your baby will use in its first couple of years. ? Production of a single disposable nappy requires 2/3 of a cup of petroleum. This adds up to over 3 billion gallons (1134 billion litres of oil) per year dedicated to disposable nappy production.
