It is a guide book designed to\u00a0highlight green living with activities that engage and inspire&#8230;from toddlers to teens. I am so happy to see more books about this subject being published and becoming more mainstream and this book is a good one. Just look at the cover&#8230;it shows a family pulling a sapling tree in a wagon getting ready to plant it..mom, dad, and kids all working together for green causes&#8230;.very cool.<\/p>\n<p>This is an all important topic because we are raising the next generation of kids and we want them to do right by our planet &#8230;to be responsible consumers and advocates for our planet. The book has many ideas for small changes that bring big results. Small changes are especially important if you are making this a family effort and it helps ensure that your habits will actually become life-long habits. It goes into all the basics of energy conservation, creating less waste, reusing things, and embracing simplicity.<\/p>\n<p>Then it goes into a month by month plan for changing the way your family functions so that it will be easier to digest&#8230;breaking up the actions into bite size pieces. I think this book would be really fun to tackle as a\u00a0family, having family meetings once a week to discuss the green changes. I think it would really empower our kids AND it would help reinforce to everyone that this is serious business.<\/p>\n<p>The BEST part about this book is that it has so many fun activity ideas. Going green as a family has got to be fun&#8230;I firmly\u00a0believe that and this book delivers some great ideas. It has many 5 minute makeover ideas, nature crafting ideas, earth friendly recipes, gift suggestions and in general lots of great ideas for getting older kids and teens excited about going green. This is a great book for building upon your existing green family values initivatives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eco Friendly Families is a new book written by Helen Coronato.
