Sheryl Crow Wants To Help Her Son Go Green
Sheryl Crow doesn’t make it a secret that she wants to go green. And now she wants to teach her son, Wyatt, that he should go green too.
“When my son was 3 months old, I took him to the zoo. At the polar bear exhibit, Wyatt’s face lit up when he saw the baby polar bear. It was amazing for me to watch them connect — these living beings who share a planet. But I also felt panic and overwhelming sadness knowing the impact our environment is having on polar bears and on us.
“Yet I see something very hopeful in kids — the birth of new activists. Kids don’t just feel helplessness and panic but a sense of injustice, too. I sometimes think the thing that keeps adults from acting is cynicism, a belief that we can’t really change things. Kids aren’t like that. They’re awake to what’s around them, so they can actually do something about it. We teach our kids all these ideals: Let’s leave the Earth a better place than we found it. Kids are motivated not just by what’s in their heads but by what they actually see, like a baby polar bear. They can be the ones to motivate us, their parents, to change.”
I think it’s never too late to teach your family about ways to save the Earth. Because if we don’t start to do something soon who knows what kind of Earth they will have when they grow up.
