What to Get the Environmentally Conscious New Mum | Natasha Hughes | Ep 206

The world has experienced more change in recent years than in the decades before. Thankfully, one behaviour that is continuing to build its momentum, going from strength to strength, is the shift of conscious purchasing decisions towards eco-friendliness and sustainability.

After all, we all have a vision of leaving a better world for our children and it is our responsibility to leave the planet in the best condition we can for our children and generations to come, and I’m not sure we’ve done a great job of that so far.

It’s never too late to make the shift to better safeguarding the planet.

It makes perfect sense for sustainability to be infused in baby-related products, and for parents to become more conscious consumers when raising their families.

If you’ve got an upcoming baby shower and are racking your brain to think of suitable options for a soon-to-be mum with sustainable values – or simply want more insight on products for your own sustainable child-rearing this is the interview for you.

Today I am thrilled to welcome our special guest, Natasha Hughes, an expert in sourcing sustainable, ethically made, plastic-free and non-toxic clothes and Founder and Owner of On Chic Baby Clothes.
