The Eco-Nomical Baby Guide: Down-To-Earth Ways for Parents to Save Money and the Planet by Rebecca Kelley, Joy Hatch

4.0

This is definitely the best of the "green" baby books that I've read, as they avoid the preachy tone and scare tactics of other guides. I particularly appreciate the authors' focus on consuming less, focusing on what you really need, and using secondhand items rather than just buying new (expensive & trendy) organic and eco-friendly items. While I personally wouldn't go for a used car seat, they had a lot of useful practical tips and cost-comparison charts that make the book valuable. This is also a good reference for those interested in cloth diapering.
