Subject: Environmental Impact of Infant Formula - need data
Date: Mon, 7 Oct 2013 02:15:30 -0400




Hi All. 

I am working on my MPH and am developing my final Environmental Health project. The topic is focused on the environmental factors that surround infant formula feeding - to include the ecological footprint created by bottle manufacturing, tin waste, paper waste, plastic waste, methane emissions, cattle grain production, deforestation, water and soil contamination.
 
In my search for data, I have come across plenty of anecdotal (non-sourced) articles and blog posts regarding how breastfeeding is better for the environment than formula feeding. If anyone has any professional research article references on this topic, I would greatly appreciate the help. So far, my search for scholarly info on this topic has yielded nil.

Kind regards and many thanks,
