This study aimed to evaluate the impact of carbon footprint education on breastfeeding practices among pregnant women.

In the sample size calculation performed using G\*Power 3.1.9.7 (Faul et al., 2007) software, the effect size value determined for the relationship between awareness levels regarding sustainable and healthy nutrition behaviors and reducing ecological footprint was determined as Cohen's r=0.470. Statistical power analysis was performed under A Priori: Compute required sample size (Correlation: Bivariate normal model), 95% power (1-β) and α=0.05 and in the light of these parameters, it was concluded that a sample size of at least 53 participants was required for the study in question. In case of data loss, it was envisaged to increase the sample by 20% as a result of statistical consultancy. Accordingly, it was planned to conduct the study with a total of n=64 people, n=32 in the intervention group and n=32 in the control group.

It was carried out with the participation of two groups. The carbon footprint education group received 4 education sessions of 60 minutes each. The control group received routine hospital care during this period, but no other intervention was made.

Data for the study were collected by the researcher using face-to-face interviews, a personal information form with demographic questions, and the measurement tools used in the study. The training was completed 4 weeks later. After the training, the measurement tools were used for the woman's postpartum period.

Participants were given an explanation of the carbon footprint education and told how, for how long, and where the education would take place. The carbon footprint education programme was completed by the participants in a specific way (nutrition, breastfeeding, environmental awareness) for each session. The education was delivered using a poster.

The carbon footprint education was given in 4 sessions in this way. The measurement tools were given to the participants again on the 1st day, 1st month, 3rd month and 6th month after birth.
