Help Your Parents Save the Planet

May 15, 2009 by Dawn

I may be a bit late for an Earth Day connection with this review, but why not treat every day like Earth Day? With Play Bac’s Help Your Parents Save the Planet: 50 Simple Ways to Go Green Now! your and your children can become empowered and enthusiastic about making small changes to your daily life that can make a big difference to the environment.

Going green is the new black one could say, and the best way to ensure long term change would logically be to get our youngest generations involved. As a result, let’s get words like composting and recycling into our kids’ vocabulary early, right?

With pieces of advice that are simple to follow (did you know that keeping your light bulbs dust-free reduces the amount of energy that you use?), to practices that require a bit more time and commitment (the benefits of composting outweigh the work, trust me!), this book is a valuable resource that gets the entire family involved in caring for the planet together.

Happy belated Earth Day!

With three kids and never enough hours in the day, Dawn wonders if it’s possible to read in her sleep. When she’s not reading or changing diapers, she’s blogging away at my thoughts exactly.
