What's the best way to teach life-long lessons? Present it in a fun, easy-to-understand and meaningful way people will remember for a lifetime. Grow Your Own Tree Hugger takes the practices and philosophy behind eco-conscious and sustainable-savvy living and turns them into 175 projects you can use to share those messages with children of all ages.

Each of the projects include step-by-step instructions, list of ingredients, large-size photo of the completed project, two chat point tips to use in discussing the significance of the project and the reasons change is needed, and a note about where to look for additional information about the topic. The projects you'll find include:

• Grow sprouting seeds using old sponges to demonstrate the ease and importance of fresh vegetables
• Learn about the impact of global warming through a On Thin Ice project
• Discover the delicious option of growing your own herbs in the Egg Carton Pizza Garden project
• Design your own beach bag by recycling two well-worn bath towels

Celebrate the greater possibilities of a greener generation.
