Eco Friendly Families by Helen Coronato is a practical guide for parents who want to have green values. If you want to make changes in your lifestyle that are more sustainable, this book will assist you in creating that. How do you get your family on board? How do you make changes without getting overwhelmed? These are the questions the book answers.

  • Chapter 1 encourages you to take inventory of your lifestyle. Going green is a journey, not a destination. What does your day look like? What are some of the things you are already doing that are sustainable? What are the areas in which you are weak and need to make changes?
