This book breaks down the science behind baby and child parenting approaches to inform and empower readers to adjust their lifestyles in practical ways that will reduce the impact their family has on the environment, without being judgemental or dogmatic. How can the modern family live an environmentally-friendly lifestyle? Although many adults aspire to be green, there is no comprehensive lifestyle guide available for them when they become parents.
