Homemade Baby Food – Give Mother Earth a Happy Earth Day -

Apr 22, 2008 Call to Action, Friendly Baby Food Advice

It’s Earth Day today! There are lots of celebrations going on around the world to help raise awareness of the need to respect our planet and its resources! Many parents make homemade baby food and probably don’t even think about how earth friendly homemade baby food is! Imagine, it’s estimated that each baby consumes approximately 600 jars of baby food between infancy and toddlerhood!

600 jars per child – If you make homemade baby food, you keep approximately 600 glass jars out of the landfill! How cool is that?! You see, the wonderful healthful benefits of homemade baby food aren’t only for your precious little one! There’s a small benefit that also helps Mother Earth!

Another benefit, you can choose to get local foods from local growers who use sustainable and organic farming practices! Sustainable & organic farming practices help the soil maintain it’s health and yeild wonderfully delicious crops. Organic farming practices yeild foods that are more healthy for us and keep pollutants/chemicals out of the ground and the water too! Shop locally for your baby’s (and the whole family’s) homemade baby foods and support your area farmers and the earth at the same time!

If you can’t take part in any Earth day celebrations today, why not think about making Homemade Baby Food for your baby. It’s a small step to greening the planet back into good health!
