Childbirth ecological

If the genie from the bottle was manifested today, I would ask him to check the item "delivery" of my checklist, with some small compromises to celebrate Earth Day as it should be.

But to my surprise, delivery has still not been recovered by ecological and anti-globalization activists! I am therefore obliged to improvise a few tricks to reduce the impact of my birth on the environment.

're interested, my personal rélexion leads to the following recommendations:

Collapse

• The delivery charge is not. Do not make children significantly reduces your ecological footprint. Reduce your family ambitions.
• Invite your midwife to come to your home bike. Otherwise, plant a tree to offset carbon emissions.
• down the heat a few degrees during delivery. If you're cold, go for the dress Skidoo two parts.

Rethinking

• Abandon neoliberal childbirth in hospitals for biological confinement (without epidural) at home. Giving birth is a vote! A delivery charge contributes to the transformation of the democratic ideal. And remember that childbirth is one link in the capitalist economy. You will then need to breast feed, educate and provide care for baby so just as healthy!
• Like organic food, opt for a midwife is to encourage local production and biodiversity of perinatal trades. You've already made the wise choice? Go Go plant a tree and claim your $ 100 for family benefits!
• In the birth plan, consider prioritizing the criteria for your delivery. Do you deliver local or fair? Should you opt for a midwife or a corner, imported from France? What is the correct price of your birth? That of doctor or midwife?
• The work does not fire? Take a tablespoon of castor oil. In case of diarrhea, plant another tree. You'll need the manure to your new woodlot.

Reuse / Recycle

• Abandon sanitary napkins overwrapped manufactured in sweatshops. Recycle your old clothes instead of maternity pads for making your own home.
• You give birth in water? Reuse bath water to water your plants.
• For each birth, plant a tree and use your placenta as fertilizer. You give birth in winter? Place in the freezer until the new season. Identify good, though. Otherwise, your loved one could cook a steak and serve it to children with the best intentions!
• giving birth in old sheets. Why not take the opportunity to get rid of Star Wars sheets of the future dad? Otherwise, always opt for organic cotton sheets.

importantly, plant a tree every time you will not measure up. The tree you feel guilty while providing you the oxygen you miss a delivery time past.
