The Eco-nomical Baby Guide Book Review & Giveaway

Written by  • March 3rd, 2010 •  • 51 CommentsFiled under: Finished Giveaways

I have always wished I could be more “green” when it comes to all my baby/toddler paraphernalia.  A new book out by Abrams Books:  The Eco-nomical Baby Guide Book helps me achieve my wish.

The Eco-nomical Baby Guide Book:   Down-to-Earth Ways for Parents to Save Money and the Planet:

Is it really possible to raise an eco-baby without breaking the bank? While the average parents spend almost $7,000 gearing up for a new addition, pregnant pals Joy Hatch and Rebecca Kelley each shelled out less than a thousand—and they did it by going green. In The Eco-nomical Baby Guide, the authors prove that bringing up baby can be easy on the pocketbook and the planet.

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. Your baby’s happiness and safety top Hatch and Kelley’s agenda as they offer tips on shopping for new and used green goods, blending homemade organic baby food, and limiting the piles of baby gear that threaten to overtake the living room.

Retails for $19.95.

My take:  I really liked this book.  My favorite thing- how the authors don’t try to shove the aspect of being green down your throat.  I have read some books that are so fanatical about being green that it deters me from trying.  These ladies gave some great advice with a take it or leave it attitude and offered several different options.
