Teaching Our Children about Being Eco-Friendly

There are so many wonderful tools out there to help parents teach their children about being eco-friendly. Here are a few ideas

1. Go on an a nature outing- look for little creatures, interesting leaves, acorns, etc…

2. Go to a Science Musuem, most science musuem have  exhibits on how to be more green.

3. Go to a local farmers market, talk to the vendors and ask about how the food is grown.

4. If your child is old enough put them in charge of recycling at your house.

5. Plant a garden with your child. We don’t have a yard(living in the city) but were able to grow a tomato plant in our atrium.

6. Check out books from your library about being green, there are so many out there now.
