Sustainability and parenting can sometimes feel like two things that work against one another, but what are small things that you can do as a busy parent that can leave a big impact? ✨ Join us on this green-centric episode where we discuss this and more with our amazing guest Krystal Persaud - Stark Tank winner, design and sustainability entrepreneur (@wildgridhome, @grouphugsolar,) adjunct professor, and most importantly, a mother to a beautiful baby girl. 

As many of you know, our host is a MASSIVE advocate for all things sustainability and environmental awareness. 🍃 So, it comes as no surprise that we would have an episode in which these topics are discussed in the context of parenting. We hope the tips shared in this episode help you on your own sustainable parenting journeys!
