When I think about sustainable living, I think about simplicity. It was Leonardo DaVinci who said “simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.” Living sustainably not only makes sense – it’s simply genius! It follows the laws and order of the universe. It obeys the “House Rules” plaque my great-grandmother has posted on her bathroom wall – “If you sleep on it – make it up. If you wear it – hang it up. If you drop it – pick it up. If you dirty it – clean it up.” Sustainable living is the ultimate common sense.
The simplicity of sustainability makes life easier and more economical in all areas – including when it comes to raising young children. It’s easier because you need less. It’s more economical, again, because you need less. Raising a sustainable-minded family proves that less is indeed more.
