We are entering a critical time for our environment. Even though we are all aware of the effects of greenhouse gases and the fact that our petroleum supplies are running out, we continue to use more, waste more, pollute more, and do more damage. Many people are trying to make significant changes to their lifestyles in order to live more environmentally conscious lives. Chances are, if you are one of these people, you want to do everything you can to ensure that your children will not grow up to make the same mistakes people have made in the past. One way to do so is to teach your children about green choices.
Teaching reuse, reduce, recycle for kids
There are many activities in which you can include your children to help them develop eco-friendly habits. Every time you turn off a light switch or water faucet, tell them you are doing so to save money on your electricity bills and to stop creating pollution. Teaching reuse, reduce, recycle for kids is easy as well. When you get ready to donate unwanted items to charity, have your children to round up some of their old toys and clothes and go with you to make the donation. Explain that you kept your old things out of the landfill and someone else will use them instead of having to buy something new.
You can also take your eco education to the great outdoors. Let your children help you in your organic garden. Depending on their ages, they may help you weed, water, plant, and harvest your vegetables. Help them compare the taste of a homegrown tomato and one purchased from a supermarket. While gardening, you can also teach your children how the compost pile works and let them help you add your kitchen scraps to the pile. All of these activities will help you spend fun time with your children while helping them grow in to environmentally aware and responsible adults.
