The Sustainable(ish) Guide to Green Parenting with Jen Gale - Ep. 10

You may know the name Jen Gale, or recognize the 'Sustainable(ish) name. Well, this episode I'm excited to share my interview with Jen where we talk about all things eco-parenting!

Jen's book The Sustainable(ish) Guide to Green Parenting came out in May of 2021, and after I read it, I knew it was a fantastic resource for anyone who wants to have kids, who has kids, or who has kids in their lives. There are great tips not only for green parenting, but that are applicable even if you don't have kids.



Here's what we talk about:

• What a buy nothing year is, and how to do one
• The the concept of "having less children is the most eco-friendly", and our thoughts on that
• An eco committee and what it is
• How to introduce big topics like the climate crisis to kids
• How to address a reluctant family/partner/roommate
• A ta-da list, and how it can help us on our sustainable living journey
• What a reusable party pack for kids birthday party is, and how to create one
