Your Kids and Green Living
If your kids are showing interest in living a cleaner, greener life, you’ve got to encourage them. Here are a few ways you can get them in the spirit and hey, if you use your broadband internet providers out there to find some other ideas, let us know in the comments!
Be Part of the Community: Odds are your community has some sort of green activity – a community garden, a farmer’s market, etc. that you and your child can enjoy together. If you both show interest, they’ll follow suit.
Makeover the House: Depending on the age of your child, ask them to research online some ways to make the house greener. When they come to you with ideas (say, composting and switching out the lightbulbs), encourage them and go to the hardware store together.
Set Some Goals: Home-based green initiatives are the best way to impact your community. See who can take the shortest shower or turn on the least number of lights all day – making it a game will encourage your kids to really go farther than they would normally.
