How to Raise Eco-Conscious Kids
It’s cliche but true: Our children are always watching.
As eco-conscious parents, we consistently lead by example on the ‘big’ actions (reducing air travel, cooking plant-based meals) as well as on the small stuff, too (repurposing water, line-drying clothes). We assume that – because our kids are always observing our behavior – they’ll naturally pick up on our low-waste, environmental ideals.
And while it’s certainly true that our children are watching us, it’s also true that they are learning from their peers, from advertisements and from society in general.
Not surprisingly, these varied sources of information send conflicting messages and confuse our children.
On this week’s show I’m thrilled to offer 10 unique ways to raise eco-friendly kids with curated suggestions for young kids and teenagers alike.
