Parents for the Planet: ‘Kids are angry at what has happened to the Earth’

As a new mum, I wasn’t prepared for parenthood. Nobody is. There are so few things you can control.

My son, Luan, is now two years old. I want him to be proud of me. So, at home, I try hard to make good choices for the planet. I’ve decided I won’t buy him his next set of clothes. I’ll try to get them from a friend instead. I’ve also decided not to throw out the clothes and toys he outgrows. They’ll go to friends and charity shops instead.
