Trying to live a greener lifestyle while raising children is challenging. Parents are regularly lured into an economy of disposable items in exchange for comfort and convenience, a practice that will doom anyone's quest for sustainability. However, we are living in pressing times with critical environmental challenges that need our immediate attention. I have found simple, near-effortless steps we can all adopt to reduce the madness and stop destroying our only home. As parents, we have a shared responsibility to teach our children to respect, protect, and preserve the natural world. If we collectively try our best, without necessarily giving up some of the comforts of life, we can make a difference.
