With all of the green choices out there, how can moms determine what will be best for their families and the environment? Terra Wellington has the answers.
THE MOM’S GUIDE TO GROWING YOUR FAMILY GREEN: Saving the Earth Begins at Home by Terra Wellington (Griffin/ Paperback/ $16.95/ 0-312-38473-4/ March 2009) is an easy practical guide that is jam packed with hundreds of easy green how-tos including:
- Shopping: Write a note to your grocery store requesting that locally grown food be available. Stores listen to people who take the time to voice their opinion and will often respond by fulfilling your request in order to gain your loyalty.
- Vacations: Farm vacations not only teach how to tend for plants and animals, but also offer cooking classes to learn how to prepare your harvest.
- At the office: Only buy coffee that is shade grown, USDA organic, and fair trade certified. Use a reusable cup or bring your own coffee from home.
- Food choices: Keep your child’s diet free of food grown with pesticides, hormones, antibiotics, or genetic engineering.
With Terra’s guidance, moms will learn how to live consciously, shop wisely, and embrace an easy-to-implement green and sustainable life for the benefit of their families and the earth.
