We’re talking about going green today at the Science and Health Theme Day, hosted this round by Kendra at Diabetes Notes. Breastfeeding is clearly the right environmental choice–the only things breastfeeding requires are mom and baby. While there are lots of breastfeeding accessories available should you decide you want them, a breastfeeding family does not need all the bottles, nipples, bottle brushes and f*rmula cans that end up in the landfills some day (not to mention the environmental costs of f*rmula manufacturing and transportation)! Lucky for us, the green choice in this case is also the frugal choice–an example of how green living save saves greenbacks! To see how much breastfeeding saves the average family over f*rmula-feeding, check out this breastfeeding savings calculator and f*rmula cost calculator from KellyMom.com.
