April 22 is Earth Day! 🌎 Human milk remains the ultimate natural renewable resource and is one way to create a healthier planet. Do you have an earth-friendly breastfeeding or pumping/storage tip to share? #breastmilkisecofriendly #earthday According to the U.S. Surgeon General, "Although breastfeeding requires mothers to consume a small amount of additional calories, it generally requires no containers, no paper, no fuel to prepare, and no transportation to deliver, and it reduces the carbon footprint by saving precious global resources and energy." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK52687/ [Image: Photo of a cherry tree branch against the background of the sky.
