Ginger Zee and the Worries of Motherhood – A Wake-Up Call to All Parents about a Crucial Yet Overlooked Issue!
Ginger Zee, the chief meteorologist for Good Morning America, is raising her two sons — Adrian (9) and Miles (7) — to be thoughtful and environmentally aware, and possibly future meteorologists like herself.
During a recent Instagram Q&A, a fan asked if her kids were interested in weather. Ginger replied: “They both LOVE to read radar and forecast storm timing!”
She shared how she discusses eco-conscious choices with them daily. “My kids can’t take a bite of food without knowing where it came from,” she said. They focus on avoiding single-use plastics, selecting sustainable packaging, and even rewilding their backyard with native plants.
“The American obsession with perfect green lawns is incredibly wasteful,” she noted. “We’re trying to make natural yards the new standard.”
Ginger and her husband Ben Aaron have also decided to hide their children’s faces online since early 2023. “Our biggest concern is AI,” she explained. “It was never their choice, and it now feels like a violation of their privacy.” Ben added, “We didn’t want to be those parents chasing likes with our kids.”
While balancing full-time work with parenting has been challenging, Ginger openly shares those moments. In a post, she once described a hectic morning when childcare fell through, and she had to coordinate with her husband on the fly.
Still, Ginger remains deeply grateful for her role at GMA, calling it a privilege: “I grew up on a small farm in rural Michigan. Working here is something I don’t take for granted.”
