About this event:
Is your home making your kid sick? Are your child’s toys, clothes, and food safe? Do you worry you don’t have time to protect your family and the earth?
There is a great deal of media attention about the risks associated with everything from the toys in your playroom to the water bottle in your purse. Yet, it is often hard to sift through the research, the advice, and the marketing to determine what is really important. As parents, grandparents, or friends, there are many simple, every-day ways to help protect the health of your child and the earth.
Green Parenting 101 is designed to help families navigate the various lifestyle options and consumer choices available. Learn more about how to feed your family better, avoid toxic toys, create celebrations with less consumption, and green up your diaper routine. This is an interactive class that provides the research on a variety of timely topics of concern to families and provides real-world solutions for instituting change while juggling the restraints of family finances, time, and energy.
Lap-held babies are welcome.
