bf&brand=URBANBABY&s=30> On your ever-expanding list of "things that freak
me out about pregnancy," are lurking environmental toxins and landfills full
of disposable diapers. Fret not: Taking baby steps to go green will improve
your health and home before and after a newborn arrives. Check out these
tips from Kim Carlson, a green expert, author and creator of the EarthSmart
Certification Program on how to be eco-conscious on the cheap: Look for
vintage maternity clothes. No need to invest in a pricey wardrobe when you
can "recycle" previously owned duds (that were probably worn for a limited
time only). Find a consignment store that sells gently worn clothes and
allows you to try them on. Or have a clothes-swapping party with newly and
formerly preggo friends. Switch to non-toxic cleaning products. Pregnancy is
a time to be careful about what household products you use. Opt for products
that use botanicals, enzymes and are labeled non-toxic (try the less toxic
cleaners first and use stronger chemical cleaners only as a last resort).
Get the lead out. If you live in an older home, have the paint checked for
lead - it's highly toxic, and exposure to infants can cause nervous system
damage, learning disabilities and behavior problems. At the very least, make
sure that there are no peeling or cracked painted surfaces in your home. Any
certified home inspector can do lead test, or buy a home lead test kit for
less than $30 Choose glass baby bottles. Some plastic baby bottles have been
found to contain and leach a plasticizer, BPA or bisphenol A when heated.
BPA is an estrogen-mimicking hormone or endocrine disruptor that may
interfere with a baby's developmental, reproductive, neurological and immune
systems.
