“As a parent, it is your job to feed your baby and keep your baby warm, dry and safe. It is also your job as a parent to leave your child a habitable planet that is not devastated by climate change. These two jobs are not in contradiction. Taking care of a baby requires a lot of love and patience, but not a lot of “things.”

“(A step-by-step guide for what your team can do at each gathering can be found in the book The Low Carbon Diet by David Gershon.”

“How can you gracefully ask your in-laws and parents to give fewer gifts? First, tell them that you would very much like them to respect your wishes and not give gifts. If they want a further reason, try talking about your concern about the amount of raw materials needed to produce the toys and clothes for the baby. If they don’t care for the environmental argument, try telling them you don’t have room for more items. If all else fails, simply tell them that they can buy items, but the toys and clothes they buy need to stay at their house for use during visits. Since most baby clothes can only be worn for a couple months, this should cut down on the purchase of new clothes. And the grandparents also probably only have so much room for new toys!”
