Guides parents who want to be green, but don't know how to balance that in a busy modern life

In this fun, practical, and inspirational guide, you'll learn how to maintain your green values while raising your children, engaging with nature, and getting outdoors--all without feeling guilty about the inevitable compromises. Aimed at parents of zero to 10-year-olds, this book takes a humorous and lighthearted look at all things green and nature inspired. Based on Kate Blincoe's own experiences as an eco-aware parent, the book's message is that it's not about being perfect--it's about giving it a try, feeling the benefits for your family, and having fun while you do it. This guide provides essential advice on food and eating, eco-buying, learning and playing, family-friendly foraging, growing plants and food with your family, green days out, activities and parties, green parenting in the city, and balancing your green ideals in a busy life. Kate's pragmatic approach will inspire you to balance green living with the realities of raising children.
