Teaching children how to
be green is the best way to help ensure they have a future worth
looking forward to. On this page you will find five top ways to help
children Grow Up Green.
- The First
R - Reduce
- We have all seen it and heard it, but do you really do it?
Teach children how to reduce the amount of waste that has been
collecting in our landfills.
- The Second
R - Reuse
- Show children how to reuse items they would normally throw
away like old Christmas cards that can be used to make new
ones.
- The Third
R - Recycle
- Take children on a "field trip" to both the landfill and
a local recycling center to teach them what can and cannot be recycled,
and they can learn just how long it can take for "garbage" to decompose.
- The Fourth
R - Rethink
- Teach children to rethink everything they buy, use, and
plant by example. Start by giving them an area of your yard to
"grow green".
- The
Fifth R - Realize
- Show children that every choice they make, no
matter how small, can have either a positive or negative impact on our
Earth for many years to come.
