Sesame Street Goes Green

This week, Sesame Street celebrates its 40th anniversary. For the next two years, the curriculum on Sesame Street will be environmentally based. Children will learn about birds, hibernation, and sustainable living among other things. I love this trend of characters children can identify with teaching them about the environment. For his birthday, my son was given a Curious George DVD where Curious George goes green. In each short episode, we watched George learn things like how to make compost and what and when to recycle. Speaking of which, I wonder if back on Sesame Street Oscar the Grouch will move from his garbage can to a recycle bin.

We are a group of colleagues, friends and working mothers who wanted to find a way to share our experiences as parents with others and to seek the advice of those who have encountered and successfully overcome some of the ordinary and not-so-ordinary challenges of working motherhood. Among ourselves we have 10 children: boys and girls, babies through school-agers, children who are adopted and not-adopted, have special needs and those who don’t, and each of whom is precious in their own right. As professionals, our experiences range from child care to politics, writing to retail. In the interest of full disclosure, we all work for Bright Horizons, and some of us are beneficiaries of the company’s child care services. But this blog is meant to provide a community of support and discussion for all working mothers (fathers welcome too!), and you need no affiliation with Bright Horizons to be a part of the conversation.

We hope you enjoy and join the dialogue too.
