Wow! It is not often a book comes along that literally blows our green socks off. Well, this is the messiah of green books. Raising Baby Green: The Earth-Friendly Guide to Pregnancy, Childbirth, and Baby Care is the rare eco-tome, well written, meticulously researched and, in the unique position of actually being able to make a difference. If each and every North American parent was given this book at the birth of a child, we could probably reduce our collective continent-wide environmental footprint by an estimated third.
In Raising Baby Green, the aptly named Dr.Greene, a leader in the green baby movement, advises parents on how to make more sustainable choices for baby, parents, and the entire family, starting in the prenatal stage and continuing through to The Labour and Delivery Room, The Nursery, The Kitchen, The Bathroom, The Garden and The Whole House.
Perhaps what makes Raising Baby Green so invaluable is that Dr. Greene doesn’t offer quick tips, over-simplistic statistics and flippant solutions, rather he delves deeply into his subject matter. For example, in the section The Womb, the author explains about organic food and the link to water pollution, reducing allergies in children through food choices and reduction in chemical exposure, the risks of genetically-modified ingredients in milk, the link between processed food, nitrates and cancer, seafood and food sustainability, leaching from bottled water —and many more subjects are covered in-depth. Each section of the book is tailored to the expectant family and will help parents make greener choices for their baby and their family.
Raising Baby Green is an important contribution to the green movement. The average North American child will have twice the carbon footprint of a child in Africa. It is extremely important North American parents do everything they can to reduce new children’s impact on the planet. Raising Baby Green is a must-have for every parent.
