Best Documentaries for Non-Toxic Living and Sustainability for All Ages!

How do you convince a loved one that environmental chemicals can be harmful, that plastics  pose a huge threat to our planet & health or that the daily products they love contain harmful chemicals?⁣

Sometimes explaining it to them is not enough. ⁣

Sometimes its best to subtly show them- allow them to see and learn for themselves.  Let the experts and scientists talk to them directly about the connections between toxic chemicals and chronic diseases. ⁣

This is why I 💚 documentaries ( I also helped produce 2 - not on this list- which is why I 💚 the genre!)⁣

Movie night?  Tell them you heard about an amazing film and…watch one of these docs.  I assure you they will look at non-toxic living differently by the time the movie is over.  PS  kids list below too!⁣

I also 💚 documentaries for kids. For kids I like documentaries that foster their love for nature, our planet and that expand their world view. If you can raise a child that cares for the Planet & understands that kids are kids no matter where they live  or what they look like - you have done a great job!  Here are some we have enjoyed as a family - remember some younger kids don’t sit still for an entire movie- that is ok!  Maybe they watch a bit, maybe they play while they watch or maybe try again in a couple of years!⁣
