Read ahead to find out all the details on why you should choose these zero-waste newborn solutions. I have included some of my shop products and other affiliate links throughout plus some other recommended finds from friends — I’ve tried to include some DIY solutions too because you definitely don’t always need more ‘stuff’

When we decided to go low waste, naturally, our dogs became low waste too. There is nothing too fancy here, just some things I have figured out as time has gone on. Obviously, there are a bunch of things that we can not avoid, such as medication that ALWAYS comes in plastic or kibble, that I haven’t found it yet in a recycled bag.

I have absolutely loved the opportunity to get to know so many other low waste advocates with this blog. While we might all be on track to accomplish the same things (create less waste, live more sustainably, and better care for our planet) there are so many different strategies in how to get there! Depending on where you live, your budget, lifestyle, and how much of a do-it-yourself kind of person you are, the way you reach a low waste lifestyle may look completely different than others in your community.

Going through the process of conceiving a baby can be a strenuous one. In my experience, struggling with fertility isn’t easy on many levels, and it is certainly not zero waste.

But before I get into the list, I want to share a bit about the importance of developing a relationship with our Earth and how it can help shift your perspective to a more compassionate, proactive mindset.

There is a misconception that the zero waste lifestyle is fancy and expensive, but the truth is it isn’t fancy and it doesn’t have to be expensive. It is not fancy because the main idea to reuse as much as you can — so the jars you reuse might not all look the same. It doesn’t need to be expensive because you do not have to buy everything at once and once bought, you will not need to buy them again…

My zero waste morning routine is not totally zero waste. As I explained in last week’s post, I am not without certain limitations. Remember, my first rule of zero waste living is to always use what you already have… and I have many products from my previous life… It can take a long time to find and replace high waste sustainable products with low waste products, but trust me is not impossible!
