Since we’re on the topic of BPA and baby products, I thought I’d bring your attention to the “Breastfeeding is Green” contest from Nursing Mother Supplies. Aside from the multitude of health benefits breastfeeding supplies to babies, think about all the resources that go into making artificial milk; the waste created from the production of formula bottles and cans; not to mention the energy and gas used to drive the formula around to markets nationwide. The environmental friendly impact of breastfeeding is something that can be truly called a natural part of life!

In a nutshell - come up with the wittiest, eco-encompassing phrase about why breastfeeding is green, and you can win a $300 breastfeeding gift basket, as well as your saying printed on a t-shirt sold by Nursing Mother Supplies. All profits from the sale of the t-shirts will go to charity - fifty percent to La Leche League International, and fifty percent to the environmental organization of the winner’s choice! The contest is open until April 30, 2008. Email your entries to contest@nursingmothersupplies.com, and must include the following info: your name, address, e-mail address, phone number, and “Breastfeeding is Green” catch phrase.

Nursing Mother Supplies also happens to be a beautiful, easy-to-navigate site for mothers and mothers-to-be. For those looking out for BPA-free products, Nursing Mother Supplies carries Medela breastpumps and the Milk Mate breastmilk storage bottles, which are both BPA free.
