There's one more way that breastfeeding should be considered "green", and it's one that isn't usually mentioned. Breastfed babies produce a significantly smaller amount of solid waste for the planet to contend with! ;-)

Breastfeeding women have a renewable resource with their milk, prevent

healthcare problems, money that could be spent on other important societal
issues.
