Earth Day 2007 is tomorrow, so I thought I’d start a thread on things we do as parents to protect the environment and save energy. From carpooling to soccer practice to favoring toys with minimal packaging, how do you take care of our planet? How do you teach your children to do so? Where do you compromise for convenience?
I’ll also point out the excellent 2004 article, The Poop on Eco-Friendly Diapers, by Elisa Batista, which demonstrates how tricky some of our environmental choices become when we take time to dig behind the marketing hype and consider all the factors involved.
