Awesome Resource

This book is really wonderful & has gotten me really excited with all of the great ideas. Highly recommended!

praise for The Green Parent

The Green Parent is an essential read for all parents and parents-to-be who endeavor to find ways to improve energy efficiency even as their family continues to grow. It offers a wide range of tips and suggestions that cover every aspect of life while raising children. Taking just a few of these and incorporating them into the daily routine can easily help your family save money as well as reduce waste. Most importantly, there are fun and creative ways to involve children in the effort so that the lessons of protecting the environment are taught early and often allowing parents to set the example and educate in ways kids can appreciate. If (like me) you ever thought having children made going green too difficult or challenging, The Green Parent will convince you otherwise. - J.K., father of two

A fountain of ideas that will turn into a strong referene guide for you

The Green Parent is a very valuable resource for any parent that even remotely cares about raising a family with an eye towards sustainability and environmental responsibility. Aside from the fundamental purpose of the book, the Green Parent is a great book for a few reasons. For starters, the book is well researched. There's no fluff. Secondly, it's a very practical book. And that's probably its greatest benefit. The ideas Jenn presents are easy to digest...there's no pontification and you won't feel guilty after reading it. Her wise use of bullet points, light narrative and to-the-point suggestions are a breath of fresh air...pun intended. The Green Parent is a good read on its own, and it has staying power in that you'll be coming back to it as a reference again and again.
