Eco Parenting

In 2014 there was an estimated 4.4 million mommy bloggers.

That’s a lot of opinions on how to be a good parent. Add in a desire to be a sustainable parent that protects people and planet for their children’s futures and suddenly those opinions have multiplied. No plastic bottles or snack bags! What do you mean you feed your kid non-organic food? My baby only wears the finest organic cotton.

In a world of endless parent shaming and information overload, it’s important to remember that there is no singular right way to be a sustainable parent. I am not a mom, but I have quite a few friends that have embarked on the parental journey, and I can say with full confidence that they are tired. When you’re working hard every day to provide for your family, spend quality time with your kids, and avoid as many tantrums as possible - sometimes it’s just not worth it to get into an argument about whether or not your kid can have a juice box.

In this week’s episode of Do What You Can For The People, Margo Aaron and I talk about the challenges of being a sustainable parent. We chat about how sustainable parenting means different things to different people, and it really comes down to what your values are and what your capacity is. We hope that you enjoy this episode and choose to show each other more compassion and empathy as we all really just try to do our best.

Margo Aaron is the lead copywriter and marketing strategist of That Seems Important, co-host of #HAMYAW, aspiring pancake chef, and full-time toddler mom.
