Clothing - Children's

Baby clothes include garments made from various textiles, including cotton, wool, linen, and other natural or synthetic fibers.

Reuse is best! Share locally on listservs, with local families, neighborhood schools, or on FreeCycle, Craigslist, NextDoor, etc., or local charity organizations to reduce your climate impact.
