Sustainable parenting
5 practical tips
As you dive into parenthood, we know it can be overwhelming to think about the impact your choices have on the planet and your baby. But fear not! We've got some tips on sustainable parenting choices that are easy peasy and can even save you some money. Let's do our part to protect the earth for our little ones and have some fun along the way.
Choose eco-friendly materials
Go for more sustainable fabrics to help reduce your environmental impact. From organic baby clothes to stroller fabrics made from recycled plastic: the possibilities are endless!
Switch from single use to reusable products
Sustainable parenting starts with everyday actions. Did you know we monthly throw away around 150 single-use diapers per baby? So, move over disposable baby wipes and diapers - and hello organic cotton wipes and cloth diapers! These washable alternatives are not only a more sustainable option, they're also better for your baby's skin. Plus, they usually come in all sorts of cute patterns and colours too. Imagine how cute this looks in your nursery bag!
Rent your sustainable baby gear
We love the concept of renting your baby gear. Especially when it comes to sustainable parenting. It helps to reduce waste and promotes a circular economy. Plus, you can avoid buying things that will only be used for a hot second. Did you know we've partnered up with Tiny Library? This cool Dutch initiative rents out a bunch of useful baby items, such as our own Joolz strollers and car seats – giving you a more sustainable option for the planet and your wallet. We're fans!
Make your own sustainable baby food
Being a sustainable parent isn't just about the tangible things you bring into your home. Making your own baby food is a great way to reduce packaging waste and ensure your baby is getting the freshest, healthiest food possible. You can use fresh produce from your local farmers' market, or even grow your own fruits and vegetables.
Plant a tree as a sustainable parent!
After all the tips you can use as a sustainable parent, we're happy to help you take this exciting goal into practice. We're here to support all parents, including mother nature. For every stroller we sell, we plant a tree with Tree-Nation to fight climate change. So not only are you getting an awesome ride for your little one, but you're also helping to reforest the earth. Double win!
By following these tips, you can make more sustainable choices as a new parent and help ensure an even brighter future for your little one! In need of more parenting inspiration? Make sure to follow us on Instagram @myjoolz.
