Women's Environmental Network

The Green Baby Campaign calls for a sustainable, toxic-free future, empowering parents and carers to make safe, healthy, eco-friendly, and affordable choices. The campaign advocates for effective regulation of toxic chemicals and educates people on ways to minimise their exposure.  Synthetic chemicals are found in almost everything including nursery furniture, paints, clothes and children’s toys. Some are harmless, but many have been linked to serious health issues. Waste from disposable nappies and plastic toys also has a detrimental effect on the environment. What Wen is doing GREEN BABY Green Baby aims to educate parents, parents to be, midwives and health professionals, on how to create a safer and more sustainable environment for pregnancy, babies and children.  The programme will feature workshops, a campaign and coalition as well as ambassador training.  Workshops will be in person and online and will look at harmful chemicals in personal care products, cleaning products, clothing, nappies, food, toys and furniture. They will also feature a Toxic Tour to highlight which baby products and furnishings to choose and which to avoid. The programme will also train Green Baby Ambassadors to deliver Green Baby workshops in their communities across the UK.
