What is One Planet Parent?

This blog aims to provide you with inspiration for living and learning simply and mindfully. It is based on the experiences and research of the author and is not just for parents, but for anyone who aims to be a guardian of this planet we call home.

The posts are shared in the hope that we can nurture a generational shift in perspective and provide the motivation for young people to live well with less, create a connection to nature and other people, and to care deeply about our planet. By ‘being the change’ we can lead by example.

Our planet is going to need critical thinkers, problem solvers, outdoor lovers, frugal living experts and environmental activists, not passive consumers and followers of fashion. Post-pandemic, we have an opportunity to create the change we want to see in the world and mitigate the mistakes of the past.

Let’s form a community of likeminded citizens who can learn and share and explore together.
