The Ultimate Green Earth Guide

Children & Babies

Many of us become enlightened by the birth of our first offspring, and as a result our eco-conscious efforts to live a healthier lifestyle commence.

Now days many children suffer from skin problems as well as food intolerances that were rare in the time of our parents' upbringing.  There is some scientific proof that many of these health problems are derived from toxic substances that surround us, and are in the food we ingest.

The other concern is, of course, for our environment, and the pressure it is struggling to cope with, as we continues to ask it to provide us with the resources we need to make our lives more comfortable.

Having children brings with it many expenses. Expenses that have short life spans; such as clothes that are outgrown seasonally, toys that lose their novelty or educational value, and a vast array of gifts and spontaneous purchases that come with the excitement of being a parent.

Whilst it’s not psychologically healthy to feel guilty over our purchases, we should make an effort, even if it's just a small one, to be more conscious and ethical about what we choose to surround ourselves with. The list of products listed in this section of the EarthFirst green guide, are healthy alternatives, which are also less impactful on the earth's limited resources.

Eco products listed include: Bamboo nappies, non-toxic bottles and feeding sets, organic clothing, skin care products for bath and body, as well as ethical toys.
