Focusing on the reduce, reuse, recycle mantra and writing in a humorous but straightforward style, these resourceful mothers dish about everything from eco-friendly diapers to daycare, making green living with baby accessible to everyone—even those on the slenderest of budgets. The safety and happiness of one’s baby top Hatch and Kelley’s agenda as they offer tips on shopping for new and used green goods, blending homemade organic food, and limiting the piles of baby gear that threaten to overtake the living room. ABOUT THE AUTHORS Joy Hatch and Rebecca Kelley emphasize progress instead of perfection as they blog about their “eco-nomical” adventures (and misadventures) at www.greenbabyguide.com. They both teach English, co-write two eco-friendly living columns, and enjoy raising their own green babies in Oregon. The Economical Baby Guide: Down-to-Earth Ways for Parents to Save Money and the Planet By Joy Hatch and Rebecca Kelley / Foreword by Josh Dorfman Stewart, Tabori & Chang / February 15, 2010 $19.95 US / $25.95 CAN; ISBN: 978-1-58479-831-6 196 pages; 2-color illustrations throughout Helpful tips from: THE ECO-NOMICAL BABY GUIDE Switching to cloth diapers will save you between $1,000 and $5,000, depending on how many children you have. Plus, for every child you swaddle in cloth, you’ll be keeping a ton of waste out of the landfill. Try a “secondhand” baby shower. If almost everyone you know has had babies in the last few years, a secondhand shower can be an entertaining way to pass belongings from one family to another. If you’re planning on having more than one child, consider buying gender-neutral clothes for your first baby. You’ll be able to reuse everything with future children and can easily “accessorize” with hair bows or high tops if you want people to know your baby’s gender. Even if you don’t have time to hang diapers from the clothesline, you can offset the carbon and cost of using the dryer by air drying a load or two a week of other laundry. Making even a portion of baby’s meals from scratch will save you money and planetary impact. Homemade purees cost much less than jarred food—and there are no containers to dispose of.
