Celebrate Earth Day with SheKnows's Sustainability Issue — Starring Lais Ribeiro

[View on web]( [Subscribe]( THE SUSTAINABILITY ISSUE LETTER FROM OUR EDITOR My interest in living a more eco-friendly life had a selfish start: I was pregnant. Suddenly, everything that I put in and on my body seemed important. Words like “phthalates” and “endocrine disruptors” entered my lexicon. I researched non-toxic crib mattresses and registered for cloth diapers. I planned to feed my baby homemade organic everything. I was an eco-mama in the making. That baby is a teenager now (and his brother is a tween), and there have been many starts and stops along our family’s green-living journey. Yes, I cloth-diapered — but used disposables for kid number two. I made my own baby food — but also bought pouches. Today, our family uses cloth napkins, but hasn’t quit paper towels. I’m [testing out a fancy food recycling bin]( but still pluck banana peels out of the trash. Being a parent changes how many of us view the world — and that idea shaped the theme of SheKnows’s first-ever sustainability digital issue: How does parenthood change our relationship to the planet? And what [action steps can we take]( when the climate change crisis is so daunting? That’s why we’re bringing you stories on [how to talk to kids about climate change]( how to [help kids with eco-anxiety]( and how [climate change is now affecting our kids’ health](. We asked eight eco-moms to share the planet-friendly changes they’ve made with their families. And Entertainment Writer Giovana Gelhoren [profiles supermodel Lais Ribeiro]( who stepped up her own sustainable efforts by co-founding an eco-minded non-profit. We hope these stories will [inspire]( and inform the choices you make and the actions you take — today, on Earth Day, and every day.
