If you're reading this blog, you most likely have already seen this. If not, this video is a powerful reminder of how our every day actions have consequences. As a former teacher of mine used to say, "every time you spend a dollar, you cast a vote." I know we're all living on a budget and sometimes we simply have to shop with our bank accounts more than our values in mind. Sometimes Target or Walmart are our only options. But this video reminds me to limit those times as much as possible and to shop locally and buy organic whenever possible.
Parenting Green intends the double meaning. Our goal is to promote an ecological focus and a forum for new parents. Because we're pretty green (and green), we figure we can share our adventures and mishaps along the way. This blog is intended for folks who are just as likely to watch Sports Center as they are to listen to NPR; who struggle with the conundrum of cost and convenience vs. ethical responsibility; and who want a community of like-minded parents to share with and learn from.
