Reuse and recycle, except for the baby
So this may be weird, but it’s my goal to buy/get/obtain baby equipment without having to get it new. Yes, that does make me something of a freeloader/moocher (speaking of which, special thanks to my sister for all her maternity clothes!), but it also conforms to my philosophy of Not Buying Crap and Reducing My Carbon Footprint. And anyway, if someone’s not using it, I might as well.
Today’s find: a white Pottery Barn crib from the consignment store here in town for only $75! (And yes, I double-checked to be sure it hadn’t been recalled.) Here’s to hoping we can completely stock and furnish the baby’s room with reused and recycled stuff. And that the crib came with the appropriate hardware. Hmm.
Very cool! I’ve read that having a baby incurs a huge carbon hit on our already toasty planet. After having been through the process once I’m assuming that is because of the massive amount of stuff required for said infant.
