Why go plastic free with a baby?
A baby is exposed to so much plastic before they even reach the age of 2.
Plastic is not good for us, our babies nor the planet. It does not degrade but instead breaks down into smaller pieces which go into our water ways, our food and disrupt the planet.
There are simple and practical ways we can curb the amount of toxic plastic our babies are exposed to.
But it first starts with a change in our mindset. In the way we see and view things as mothers and parents.
You see, we do not own the earth but borrow it from our children.
We are only on earth for a temporal time and the Earth is then left to our children. What we do on earth and to earth matters.
As mothers our biggest footprint and direct impact to the earth is through our children.
We should make conscious decisions to make the Earth a better place for our children. There is no such thing as away. Everything goes to the already overflowing landfills.
We see the effects of plastic and toxicity through global warming. Floods, extreme cold and hot weather’s, polluted air and water borne diseases, contaminated water and air etc.
Sicknesses which were once inherit now flying rampant like cancer etc.
But babies with the most fragile skin, fragile lungs and fragile everything are the ones who are most exposed to plastic.
How do we make a change as mothers?
Stick with me and I’ll show you the ropes on how we can easily make healthy switches from plastic to natural, from toxic to non toxic and clean for a better tomorrow, a greener future and a cleaner earth.
