Teach Your Children Well

Teach your children well about sustainability.

Children who learn to reduce, reuse, recycle and rethink in regards to the resources of our earth will choose to live sustainably.

Guide children so that the ABC’s of sustainability are as natural a part of their consciousness as the ABC’s themselves.

It’s not too early to reinforce “cradle to cradle” thinking while still in the cradle.

Help children to understand the connection between the environment and their actions.

By understanding the current state of the environment, the causes of environmental destruction, and ways to solve these problems kids learn that it is possible and desirable to redesign the world for a sustainable future.

And kids can have fun learning too.
