Green Parenting with Elizabeth Barrett, MFT

Hi,
Your show comes under the umbrella of Sustainability, and I wanted to keep in touch with you.
No matter who wins, lets all of us eco-green Sustainable folks stick together, and lobby NPR for our kind of show.

This sounds like an excellent approach to very important issues of our times. Get the conversation started!

and this really appeals to me. I think the questions you raise are so important in looking towards the future. Not to mention that you have a clear, strong voice to back up your ideas. Really great job!!

Thumbs up on concept! Somewhat related is the effect on health and healthcare. If so inclined, check out http://publictalentquest.com/audio/user/6076

"The relative value of health and wealth depends upon which you've lost."

I'm not a parent, but this sounds like an appealing show for those who are. Good luck, Elizabeth! :)

This is such an important subject. It seems that many parents throw money at or ignore problems, rather than take the time to resolve them. And forget about what we are doing to our beautiful planet! Elizabeth will discuss ways to raise our children and preserve our world responsibly. It's not always easy, but the results are worth it. I would enjoy learning more about Green Parenting.

I would look forward to tuning in and hearing her real parenting experiences, along with interviews addressing sustainable ways of parenting. Please let me know when I can tune in!!

What a great idea, Elizabeth!! I am so happy to hear from you, and I really thought your "radio ham" was perfect. I hope you get enough votes for whatever is the opportunity. If not nationally, why not propose it to our local station, KCBX? I think it would make a great local show!
In faith,
Gina

Elizabeth,
You inspire me. In a confusing world you make sense of things and I feel centered every time I am around you and your family. I have every confidence that you would make an excellent talk show host. I hope listeners have the opportunity to get to know you the way I have, they would be better people for it!

Finally! The over-indulgence issue is one that my husband and I have been trying to tackle with our two boys. It is so refreshing to hear you speak on the issue. I'll be excited to see you go through this contest because I am eager to learn more from your experiences!

Elizabeth,
Thank you so much for giving us the chance to hear what you have to say. Social consciousness and "going green" are such important issues that need to be passed on. I truly wish you all the best and hope there are so many more opportunities for us all to hear your voice in the future!

Kevin

Elizabeth, I've often heard this approach associated with voluntary simplicity, but I like the Green Parenting title better. You bring up so many key issues that many parents struggle with - and many more don't even see as issues, unfortunately. I hope you get a chance to take this further, either here with PRTQ or on PRX in the future - I'd tune in!
