Miah and I are going through something many expecting parents do. All of sudden, what were rather vague concerns about toxins, diet, and lifestyle now seem urgent. We do not want to raise a baby in a home full of poisons if we can help it. More than that, we want to raise a happy kid who understands the world around her and learns how to thrive in it. We want to be green parents. And we want to be socially responsible so our child inherits a better world. The only problem is that we do not know how to do this, especially since we have a limited budget and we like a clean house, tasty food, and time to relax. This blog is about our experiments, the ridiculous ones that fail and the ones that work.

Green Parenting|The Argumentative Indian: An Interview with Amartya Sen Episode
Last February, I had the honor of interviewing Amartya Sen, the recipient of the 1998 Nobel Prize in Economics. We talked about his recent book, The Argumentative Indian, a history of rational thought, skepticism, scientific inquiry, and secularism in India. The interview was recorded for a radio show in Houston called Border Crossings, which has a South Asian focus. Although parenting wasn't the topic of the interview I did manage to squeeze in one question about raising children. However, I believe the whole interview is relevant to parenting. In all of Sen's writings, there is an amazing integration of different kinds of analytic tools, knowledge, and values. I think parenting requires the same kind of flexibility. And Sen always keeps in mind the goal of creating a more just world where every individual can choose the life she or he finds most meaningful. He is a father. When his second wife died, he raised their two children as a single parent. I believe that experience informs his thinking. For all these reasons, I think of Amartya Sen as a patron saint of Green Parenting. Click on the following link for the interview -- Amartya_Sen_Interview.mp3. I hope you enjoy it.
