The Ultimate Guide to Green Parenting 

 

This book was written by Zion Lights, who had been working as an environmental activist for some time before becoming a mother. Naturally Zion wanted to parent her children with a minimal environmental impact.

In her book Zion says, that at first she was overwhelmed by all of the information that was thrust at her as a new parent. I think this is something that we can all relate too! As a science writer and journalist her natural instinct was to research thoroughly into different parenting choices that are available and found that there was not one single source of information for green minded parents to go to for all they need to know. This resulted in Zion writing this comprehensive go to book for parents.

The book starts with The Science of Green Parenting this covers most topics that come up in discussions about gentle or attachment parenting and explains why these methods are beneficial to parent and baby.

The book then moves through the chapters talking about birth right through to childhood and everything in between. And of course Zion talks about the choices that all of us as parents have to make with nappies. Single use, biodegradable or our favourite, cloth nappies! Zion talks in detail about the environmental effect all three choices have, as well as the financial impact your choices could have.
