		<description><![CDATA[I very rarely buy books that aren&#8217;t specifically eco-friendly. But a few months ago I became a wee bit mesmerized with a book I saw at Powell&#8217;s and bought it &#8211; How to Be an Explorer of the World: Portable Life Museum by Keri Smith. Since this is not a green book in particular, I&#8217;m [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This summer and for the rest of the year I hope one major goal you have is to get your family outside. Kids especially spend a depressingly large amount of time indoors nowadays and that&#8217;s unacceptable. Granted, it&#8217;s easy to keep on doing what you&#8217;re doing. Inside is easy. You&#8217;ve got books, video games, less [...]]]></description>

Fact &#8211; kids who don&#8217;t love nature, who don&#8217;t have awesome nature experiences won&#8217;t care enough about nature to preserve it.
