Sustainable Baby : A Parent's Practical Guide to Consuming Less and Living Better

It's no longer an 'alternative' view that our current throwaway, spendthrift lifestyle is coming to the end of its expiry date. The continual squeeze of drought and water restrictions, hikes in petrol and food prices, interest rate and rent rises, and the economic crisis is pushing everyone to consider the environment and their finances. As all parents soon realise, trying to be frugal and environmentally aware goes down the gurgler with children - along with the idea of a full night's sleep. Sustainable Baby is a guide to making life easier on both your pocket and to help you live more sustainably. Rediscover the simple life with ideas to recycle, make your own toys, extend the life of children's clothes, fabulous ideas for children's parties and gifts, and tempt even the fussiest eaters with tasty recipes from finger food to meal suggestions.
