Go green with Green Guide Families from National Geographic

Go green in a new way this St. Patrick's Day with an all new guide book from National Geographic Books, Green Guide Families: The Complete Reference for Eco-friendly Parents. Written by Catherine Zandonella, a parent who is also a science journalist, the guide book offers parents simple tips to living the green life. Book topics include everything from eco-friendly party ideas to healthy eating options to protecting your kids from toxic chemicals. Written in a easy-to-read format for busy moms, the author follows the simple rule that "if it's good for the planet, it's mostly likely good for your child too."

Here's a sneak peek at the tips you'll find in the book:
  • When buying toys for your kids, DON'T buy lots of cheap toys. Make the investment and DO buy solid-wood blocks, cloth dolls, puppets and Legos (yes, they are plastic but they also last for years).
  • To freshen the air in your home, DON'T buy air fresheners. DO eliminate odors with a box of baking soda or make home-made potpourri. 

Green Guide Families: The Complete Reference for Eco-Friendly Parents, $14.81 (paperback), at amazon.com.
