What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this British series attempts to put a dollar value on the ways that nature sustains global economic growth. It takes a rather critical tone, suggesting that environmental and financial losses will continue to grow if policymakers don't focus more on the relationship between the economy and the environment. Various businesses, corporate lobbies, and environmental experts are featured. Overall the series is interesting and informative, but the economy-focused material will probably go over little kids' head and isn't likely to be very compelling for older ones.
