Parenting the eco-minimalist way is, well, difficult. It's also an 18-ish year commitment that goes directly against societal norms.

I'm no expert, but I do believe that impactful parenting starts by capitalizing on teachable moments. On today's show I speak with Elizabeth Ireland about exactly how she passes 3 central eco-minimalist lessons onto her children.

Here's a preview of the 3 life lessons we discuss today:

[9:30] Teaching children how to give

[20:00] Preparing our progeny for life: The 'why' and 'how' behind decluttering

[27:00] Imparting the elusive skill of not needing to get everything we want
