New posters on breastfeeding and the environment.

Nofootprint I just learned about these new posters from the Australian Breastfeeding Association.  The series is devoted to the relationship between breastfeeding and the environment.  These are my favorites, but there are more.

Environmentallyfriendly_2 Now, the way many of us breastfeed may not be carbon neutral, considering all of the pumps, pads, and yes clothes we purchase in the service of nursing, but there's no denying that breastfeeding is the environmentally-friendly choice

No land is used for dairy farms, no energy is consumed in factories, no resources are used in packaging, and no oil is used in transporting breastmilk to a store and to your home.  The primary energy source for breastfeeding?  Your pregnancy fat.  Breastfeeding leaves no packaging waste, and saves our health care systems billions a year. 

And you can't eat much more local than this!

you know i love those! :)

Aren't they gorgeous, look at those adorable chubby ankles!

You're right though, I had oversupply for months and found cloth pads no good, so I think I went through a mini-mountain of disposable pads, not terribly carbon neutral, but better than heaps of formula cans :)

What fantastic posters... I'd love to see these in the UK :)

what wonderful posters!
