Is Green your Colour?

You can't go anywhere these days without being bombarded with info on the state of our environment. And for good reason. But while it's important to understand the urgency, I find it more inspiring to read about practical steps to becoming more environmentally friendly than doomsday scenarios. So I'm thrilled to promote our green-living guide, with 99 eco-friendly ideas to incorporate into your family's lifestyle—big and small steps alike.

If you're looking for personalized advice, please mark your calendar for our special guest forum on the environment July 9-11. Plus, enter to win energy-smart kitchen appliances!

Until next time,
Tracy Chappell
Editor, Todaysparent.com

Hot Tips to Keep You Cool - From firefighter Shane Ferguson:

You’re cooking up something to eat and the doorbell or phone rings. If you have to leave the kitchen, don’t forget to turn off all heating elements, or at least take an oven mitt with you to remind yourself that you’re cooking. Careless cooking in the kitchen is the cause of many house fires.
