Teaching Kids to Care About the Planet
Today’s episode is all about something we know matters deeply to this community—raising kids who care. But not just care passively. Care deeply, actively, and persistently about the world around them. Specifically, our environment.
How do we teach our kids about sustainability without scaring them? How do we raise little environmental advocates who feel empowered, not overwhelmed?
Today’s guest is someone who’s made it her life’s mission to build a better future—literally from the fabric up. Marianna Sachse is the founder and CEO of Jackalo, a sustainable kids’ clothing brand that’s challenging fast fashion, reducing waste, and redefining what it means to care for our planet and our families. She’s also a mom, which means she knows what it’s like to talk to kids who ask, “But what can I do?”
From mental health and managing relationships to raising changemakers and advocating for support, freemom is a podcast dedicated to ensuring that every mom feels heard.
