Infant Feeding and Climate Change
Philippines
Garbage audit:
75% is a one time consumption
use.
A ton of paper waste is equivalent
to 16 cut matured trees.
One matured tree takes 25 years.
In a person’s 50 years of life, it is
only equivalent to 2 cut matured
trees.
84% infants and young children are
captive formula milk users.
Only 16% are exclusively breastfed for 6
months.
NDHS, 2008
If a woman breastfeeds in
the Philippines, P4,000.00
pesos or equivalent to
US$100.00 will be the family
savings. A big contribution
to the economy.
