Green Parenting: Raising Environmentally Aware Kids

passing on the Earth to future generationsSo, what is Green Parenting? Teaching our children to conserve our planets energy and resources has been around for many of us for years now. However, with increased global awareness of our planet Earth’s decline, now more then ever we need to teach our children how to utilize the resources that are already available to them, without creating further harm to the environment. By starting our children out learning how to be friendly to the environment, living in harmony with it, the whole world benefits for future generations to come. So how do you teach your child to be more green conscious? With all the ads on tv as well as in stores, for harsh chemicals of all kinds geared for making life easier, its harder to teach a simpler and more green way of life, but it can be done.

Green parenting should start with recycling - instead of buying everything new try using items that have been previously used by another. This saves money and global resources. Just because something isn't new doesn't mean it is bad or second best. Shop thrift stores or ask your friends for their hand-me-downs. Another way to go green is by sending e-cards instead of paper ones. E-cards require no paper, stamp, or postal carrier to deliver them.
