It can be hard to fit "green living" in with the necessities of modern parenting: you can do 100 things right, but still the trappings of 21st-century life—the waste, the consumerism, the plastic junk—invariably find their way home. So how can you raise kind, balanced, responsible kids, all while doing it sustainably? 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.
