Top Ten Ways To Teach Your Kids to be Eco-Friendly

It is very important to me for my kids to understand what it means to be an environmentalist. First i will inform them the true definition. Which is: 1 : an advocate of environmentalism
2 : one concerned about environmental quality especially of the human environment with respect to the control of pollution.

Now that we know what it means , We need to teach them how to be this.
So i have put together a list of 10 Ways to Teach your Kids to be Eco-Friendly

1. Lead by example. If you do it your kids will follow.
2. Recycle in your home . Make a easy area where the kids can do it themselves.
   
3. Try not to throw out everything . Example: toys, old computer, clothes & movies. Some one's trash is another one's treasure.
4. Reuse - example : unfinished notebooks from school can make great scrap paper
   
5. Shop at used item stores & garage sales .
   
6. Use less paper products : paper napkins & paper towels .
   
7. Instead of bottled water use a reusable water bottle.
8. Use a good Tupperware instead of wrapping your food in foil or plastic wrap.
   
9. Always put your trash in the garbage .
   
10. Read labels and make sure that the product you buy are Eco -friendly.

If you show and teach your children these ideas they can help save the earth.They also will have a sense of what it is like to make a difference. My kids are very environmentally aware . They don't understand why we are all not environmentally aware. I tell them never throw your garbage on the floor . The earth is our home and our house is just our room on the earth. Then I ask them : Would you throw garbage on the floor in your room?

WOULD YOU?
