As parents in the age of the climate crisis we have a lot on our plates. We're expected to consume less and compost more, to teach our kids about nature, to break the news about climate change, and to turn them into mini activists - all while managing their eco-anxiety. Not to mention our own eco-anxiety! It's a lot and nobody can do it alone, nor can we effectively fight climate change as individual families in a fossil-fuel-driven society.
Together as families we can push for the cultural, societal and political changes we need to succeed in passing on a livable planet to our kids. We can give a voice to Brooklyn parents who are concerned about the climate crisis as well as create opportunities for children to get involved in climate activism.
We urge you to get involved as much as you can, while recognizing that as parents we are stretched in a million directions. Our actions are always family- or parent-friendly and inclusive. Turn up to an event, help out with tasks from afar, organize with us - there are many ways to plug in!
