Here’s a bit of crunchy awesomeness for you: Green Guide Families, by Catherine Zandonella and published by National Geographic Books. I had the chance to include some tips from this book in an upcoming Earth Day story. It is an excellent resource for practical “greenness”  in the home. I love that it doesn’t preach, but includes real tips that busy parents can incorporate in daily life. The book includes alternatives to household chemicals, tips for home renovations, choosing the best food, “greening” baby gear and more. There are also sections on the science behind the recommendations, as well as tips for making the greenest choices for every budget. All in all – a great resource.
