I've started a (localish) Facebook Group (I know, I am too old for doing such things) but I really need a place where I can safely share ideas on lower-footprint parenting / family life with like-minded people. I do have a background in Energy Transition and Environmental Science so a relatable career to the group, however, would love to hear what sort of things people may like to know more about.

I was thinking of doing something on aerosols - so inhalers, deodorants, air fresheners (and the reported link to maternal depression)... Too sciencey or too boring?

Place marking as not sure my watch function is working.

"too tenuous, theoretical, corelation not causation and unproven" is my thought on aerosols & depression link.

I like active travel. Home insulation. But i already do those things.

How about how to get one's kids to care about environmentally sustainable choices? Getting DS to turn off tap while brushing teeth or DD to turn off lights. Argh.....

I would like more environmentally friendly advice aimed at low income and/or busy working families.

Take cloth nappies, obviously great in theory but not practical for everyone...eg, I live in a slightly damp flat with no outside drying space, the airer is always full because everything takes 2/3 days to dry. Adding cloth nappies to the laundry would just be too much for me.
