Making your life greener - one bite at a time.

If children live with criticism, they learn to condemn

If children live with hostility, they learn to fight

If children live with fear, they learn to be apprehensive

Raising children in a world full of toxins is not an option for concerned parents.

We love to meet children who care how food affects their bodies, moods, and the quality of life on Earth. Eco children know, for example, that organic farmers help renew the soil, clean the air, purify the water, and bring back the wildlife that chemicals have nearly destroyed. So here are a few "Green" parenting tips from A -Z.

Here are some great ideas for activiities and gifts that align with anti-consumerist values. Spend time together. Activities need not be exotic. A trip to the fire station, a performance, museum, art gallery, library, nature park, produce and local craft markets or a trip to an organic farm.

Encourage hobbies. Talk to the children to discover what they would like to do.

The nicest gifts are always those that have been handmade, fashioned by the hands of the giver and full of warm vibrations. Making your own need not be expensive or difficult. It just requires imagination and a little skill.

The varied  ideas we have included here should start you on the absorbing and productive path.Give the most precious gift - a gift of  time that will always be welcome.
