6 Ways to Teach Your Child to Be Environmentally Conscious
4. Discourage the usage of things that are anti environment
Items such as leather, fur, horse rides, plastic bags, etc., should be banned by you. By doing so you will pass on the positive message to your child about how these things are degrading the environment. You could log on to the Internet to connect your kids better with the tech savvy kids of today and show them videos specially made for children that teach them about environment sensitivity.
5. Make them conscious about saving natural resources
Natural resources like electricity, petrol, diesel, water, etc., ought to be used sparingly. Teach your kids about this by explaining to them in a simple way about how not switching off switches or taps when not in use could lead to no electricity and water in the future, making them the last generation to live. Instill in them the good habit of turning in trash in the dustbin only and separating degradable trash from the non-degradable ones.
6. Use more of public transportation
No matter how rich you are, the fact remains that the Earth we live is not that rich and its resources are depleting at a fast rate. Petrol and diesel ought to be used occasionally only. Make your children take public transportation on a daily basis and use the car yourself only during family outings. More cars lead to more carbon footprint and air pollution, so imbibe the healthy habits of walking short distances or traveling by public transportation.
