What Parents Need to Know
About Living With Ed
Parents need to know that this program profiles a married couple (one of whom is actor Ed Begley Jr.) who sometimes clash over how to run their "green" home. Rachelle isn't as dedicated an environmentalist as her husband, and they often spar (usually fairly playfully). To adults, this isn't unusual, but some sensitive young viewers might find even their mild arguing and irritation upsetting. On the plus side, the show offers a strong example of how to live a more environmentally friendly life.

Why is it important to take care of the planet? What is "sustainability"? What are some simple ways to help take better care of the planet -- both in the big picture and every day? What should you do if family members disagree about how to pitch in?
