She has the environmental parenting advice book Growing Sustainable Together: Practical Resources for Raising Kind, Engaged, Resilient Children coming out on June 16 from North Atlantic Books. She also writes the parenting blog We'll Eat You Up, We Love You So and is a long-standing environmental activist. In the past, she's biked from New York City to Washington D.C. to raise money for climate change advocacy, led family community bike rides, and made poor decisions about letting her children touch the composter.
