For my parenting blog, give me a list of 10 ways to practice sustainable parenting and raise kids to be environmentally aware. Make it about 250 words.
1.	Use cloth diapers. Disposable diapers make up almost 10 percent of nondurable household waste in landfills. Cloth diapers are more environmentally friendly and can be less expensive.
2.	Breastfeed if possible. Manufacturing and transporting baby formula gives it a high carbon footprint. Breastfeeding protects the environment and provides a healthy source of nutrition.
3.	Shop locally for groceries. Buying local food helps the environment and supports local businesses, plus when you buy organic, you avoid fertilizers and pesticides.
4.	Make your baby food. Homemade baby food that contains fresh and healthy ingredients usually has more nutritional value and less sugar than pre-made brands. It also uses less packaging, which helps the environment.
5.	Buy sustainable clothing. Avoid baby clothing made from synthetic materials that contribute to pollution. Look for clothes made from sustainable, natural fibers like cotton and wool.
6.	Do eco-friendly laundry. Use warm water, not hot, and use eco-friendly detergents and fabric softeners.
7.	Reuse and recycle. Kids outgrow many items before they wear them out. Reduce waste by shopping secondhand and donating used clothes, toys, books, and other products when your child no longer needs them.
8.	Clean green. Avoid cleaning solutions with harmful chemicals. Make the switch to non-toxic and biodegradable cleaners.
9.	Give your kids handmade toys. Every year, millions of plastic toys end up in landfills. Shop for handmade toys made from natural materials.
10. Teach by example. If you show your children that you care about nature and the environment, they’ll inherit your desire to protect the earth.
