With all the dire news about climate change, my wife and I started asking ourselves: what does it mean to be effective parents in a world on the brink? After pondering for a while, we decided that, for us, it means three things. First, it means becoming more politically active around issues of climate change by joining groups like The Climate Reality Project and the Sunrise Movement. Second, it means altering our lifestyle to reduce our carbon footprint through actions like eating less meat, flying infrequently, and taking public transit to work. Third, it means intensifying our efforts to raise children who are politically and environmentally active. On the site, you will find a blog about our experiences, an explanation of why we are taking action, and some resources we found useful when getting started. Thank you for visiting our family!
To us, being effective parents in an endangered world means making climate change part of our everyday consciousness because, otherwise, it’s too easy to ignore.
