FREQUENT TELEVISION CONTRIBUTOR WRITES
GREEN GUIDE FOR MOMS

The first how-to book for everyday parents on saving the environment and improving the health and safety of their families hits bookshelves March 17, 2009

            Los Angeles, CA (September 22, 2008) – Frequent Television Contributor Terra Wellington has written the first-ever how-to book for moms who want to go green. The Mom’s Guide to Growing Your Family Green: Saving the Earth Begins at Home (St. Martin’s Press, March 17, 2009) teaches moms how to care for their families in simple ways that protect both the earth and the health and well-being of their children and communities.
           Packed with practical, easy, and budget-friendly ways to live green, The Mom’s Guide is specifically designed for regular mothers—not scientists or environmentalists or tree-hugging hippies—who care primarily about their family, their homes, their community, and their local schools. 
            “The web and the media are overflowing with green tips, but there’s no one-stop source that helps moms understand all the terminology and bring this information into day-to-day life,” says Wellington.  “The environment affects our health and well-being now and will affect them in the future, so I wanted to write a book that shows that ‘going green’ makes sense for the average mom and family.  Hopefully after reading this book every mom will see that it is possible to make a significant contribution to saving the earth while protecting one’s family in the process; in fact, these two actions are often one in the same."
