Amazing, amazing woman. Got a lot of time for her. I was on the phone to Liz, and what should I overhear but little Poppy trying to tell our nanny about a lower temperature wash! To save the polar bears! How adorable is that?
Too adorable!
So. Strike while the iron’s hot, I thought. Soon as I got off the phone, I said to Poppy, “Poppy, it’s not just the polar bears you should be worrying about, kiddo. Our entire planet is at serious, serious risk.”
Bravo! I tell my kids repeatedly, if we don’t look after our planet today, tomorrow there’ll be no planet left! We’ll be drowning under six foot of melted ice-cap!
It’s tough for them sometimes... Milo has recurring nightmares about baking to death. Because of the cars in China… And there’s not a great deal he can do about that…
But you can’t protect them for ever, can you? Kids have to know....
