Drawing from cutting-edge social-science research, parent interviews, and experiential wisdom, science writer and parenting blogger Shannon Brescher Shea shows how green living and great parenting go hand in hand to teach kids kindness, compassion, resilience, and grit–all while giving them the lifelong tools they need to be successful, engaged, and independent.
The enriching activities, resource guides, and recommended book lists in each chapter distill core sustainability knowledge, like, understanding energy efficiency and renewables, instilling anti-waste and anti-consumerist values, learning where our food comes from and developing a lifelong love for environmental activism, volunteering, and community engagement
The book concludes with a practical appendix that gives talking points for engaging teachers, school systems, and fellow parents in eco-friendly activities.
