34. Fun & practical eco-minded education -- with Devon Whalen

This story all started when a dynamic family of four created Green Whale in 2020 to help families integrate eco-minded habits and have fun learning about sustainable living. Co-founder Devon talks to us about her Green Whale journey and shares how she uses her formal education in curriculum, instruction, and learning design and over 10 years of developing learning experiences for classroom and out-of-class learning, to offer resources to parents who want to raise kids who care about themselves, other people, and the world in which they live.

She also shares about her husband's passion for giving old furniture new life and keeping it out of the landfill and how Green Whale repairs, refinishes, and otherwise repurposes furniture to create new, quality pieces that make beautiful additions to someone’s home at a reasonable price.

In this week's bonus episode, Devon talks about one of their products called, "Play Your Plate" and how their card decks can be used as a fun way to challenge yourself to both understand your current diet's carbon footprint and try to reduce it. I'll be taking the challenge myself and sharing it on social media!

Devon is so dynamic and knowledgeable, and we loved having her on the show!
