How We Eco - FEED - Meet The White's

Meet The White's

We are a Southern California family of 3 living on an urban farm with a flock of chickens, a tank full of Tilapia and a gang of cats. We have always been interested in sustainability beginning at our first tiny apartment using the space we had available. Our current home in Logan Heights utilizes a mixture of permaculture and other sustainable practices. Following the mantra, do what you love and love what you do we are finding new ways to promote sustainability and keep our style, making new projects manageable and fun. With our recent family addition, we are looking forward to raising our tiny human with sustainability in mind and hopefully a green thumb. Feeding and diapering an 8 month old can result in a lot of waste; thankfully there are tons of companies out there who are committed to reducing space in our landfill. The Infantino Squeeze Station and Nature’s Little Squeeze reusable pouches by Wee Sprout have helped make it easier to make our baby food. I love that Wee Sprout is a family-owned and eco-conscious company (sound familiar?!). The pouches are clear on the back so you can see what is inside. We are currently waiting to harvest our carrots, beets and strawberries and often use veggies from our Farm Fresh to You box to feed our daughter Marley. When we are in a time crunch, traveling, or camping, Plum Organics food pouches are our go to. Plum Organics uses sustainable packaging and is looking for ways to recycle the pouch and even has a cap recycling program! Klean Kanteen keeps mom and dad well caffeinated and keeps baby girl hydrated. Richard and I always have our thermoses for morning coffee and weekend walks to Cafe Moto. Marley has just recently mastered the sippy cup so her Bumbleride Klean Kanteen sippy cup is perfect to take on the go and keep in her diaper bag. I never thought in a million years I would be an avid cloth diaper user. It has turned out to be one of the best decisions of parenthood! Using the Grovia cloth diapering system has been SO easy and feels good to save so much diaper waste from reaching our landfill. Of course cloth diapering involves cleaning, water use, etc. We line dry as often as possible (the sun bleaches and disinfects!) and use biodegradable laundry detergent for a future grey water system. Luckily living in Southern California allows for lots of sunny days perfect for using the clothesline.   How We Eco - FEED 1. Bumbleride Speed Stroller color: Maritime Blue 2.
