Sustainababy: Born to be Green

Anna Fahey looks at pregnancy and motherhood through the lens of sustainability policy—or, rather, reexamines sustainability policy through her newly acquired “mama lenses.” Beyond myriad personal choices about “green” diapers, bottles, or toys, she finds that pregnancy and the prospect of parenthood shed new light on big policy priorities from food, air, and water quality to climate, energy, and economic security. Readers from across the region are invited to chime in with their experiences of growing green babies.
