The first year of a child's life can cost parents up to around €17,000, a value 8% higher than just two years ago. A wasteful family spends on trivial things from a minimum of 2,095 euros to 5,256 euros for their baby up to two years of age.
A 'green' family instead spends from 59 to 264 euros saving up to 95 % and producing minimal waste. The comparison was made by Lisa Casali, environmental scientist and representative for Italy at the Directorate General for the Environment of the European Commission.
