Sustainable Barnsley event series: infant feeding and climate change

Details:

In the run up to the UN's COP26 climate change conference, Barnsley Council is running a series of events and activities to get everyone talking about sustainability and how we can take action to protect our borough for future generations.

This session will focus on how supporting breastfeeding in Barnsley can impact positively on sustainability and climate change. We will explore how breastfeeding can reduce the impact on our environment.
