A common question is: "how can we get kids to care about nature/the earth?" It's a good questions, because after all, how can we, or how can we expect anyone to care about something they have no connection with?In this episode I'm talking with Jess Purcell, of Thoughtfully Sustainable. Jess talks about how we can get our kids interested in the pressing issues that face us today. Jess introduces us to the term: sustainability science, and talks about what it means.Additionally, we talk about the glaring fact that not everyone, or every kid, has the same access to nature and science teachings - and Jess shares some ways we can work to make these places and learnings more accessible for all. Resources mentioned:Medinah of Science Teacher Mom Backyard Basecamp 2021 Virtual Earth Day SummitJen from Honestly ModernSarah of Sarah.Robertson.Barnes Lindsay of Simply Sustainable ParentingWhere you can find Jess Purcell/Thoughtfully SustainableBlogInstagramLet's connect!Email me: Laura@raisingecominimalists.comBlog (Reduce, Reuse, Renew)Instagram (@raisingecominimalistspodcast or @reducereuserenewblog)Facebook Raising Eco Minimalist Community GroupBecome a podcast member (and help support the show!)Support the show
