Teach your children

Your children are the future and they are the ones who will be facing most of the problems that we have created during our life-cycle. If we don't check our daily carbon footprint, we are adding up to the problems that our kids will face in the future. While we are checking our own footprints, we need to educate our children, we need to imbibe in them the basics of going green as we build their strong base to face the world.

We are the ones that teach them the daily etiquette and now is the time that we need to teach them how important it is in their life to save all the basic resources.So here are some tips that will help to educate your child as well as be fun for him/her.

1. Ask you kids to get together with their friends and play more traditional games that can be played outdoor, rather than those that require a power outlet to run.
   
2. Guide your kids to do gardening, plant a tree, go berry picking and let them water the plants.
3. Get you kid a new bike, skates and skateboard.
4. Let the kids play with clay toys, get them clay to work with and toys that require only mechanical energy to run.
5. Educate your kids, give them appreciation once they do something good.
6. Get together with you social and plan on events where you honour kids who put efforts to go greener. Give them a medal or a cetificate.
7. Take your kids to gardens and send them to school in a school bus rather than driving them to school.
8. Teach them to use less water while they bathe.
9. Let you kids help you with household stuff and let them give you a hand while you go shopping, so that you can walk to the store rather than driving.
10. Most important, you need to follow the rules and then they will obey.
