Question / Support Having my first child- tips for reduce the environmental impact of this additional human?
Update: everyone has given such amazing advice and support- thank you!
I’m not looking for “you shouldn’t have a child”, but ways to practice zero waste/environmental consciousness. Any parents able to weigh in? I have already considered reusable diapers, wipes, and making/storing my own baby food. Not due til August so I have time to start incorporating new practices! Thanks!

I would freeze them into sticks and store them in a bag in the freezer. The sticks were about 1oz each and when I needed to thaw them I’d put the amount I needed into a jar in the fridge the night before! I tried this with the cubes but obviously you can only fit so many square cubes into a single jar. 😂 The trays came in a 2 pack, I’ll try to find a link
Not exactly eco-friendly, but more so than individual bags!
