Eco friendly kids are likely to become eco friendly adults so it is worthwhile encouraging children to think about their environment from an early age. There are many ways in which children can be eco friendly. Kit for school can include lunch bags, pencil cases, purses and stationery made from recycled materials, not forgetting the staple-less stapler. Wind-up torches, water powered clocks and water powered calculators are ideal for eco friendly kids. Try to buy eco friendly gifts for the many birthday parties that children get invited to, and don’t forget the eco friendly gift wrap.
Children can learn about sustainable living while helping with eco friendly gardening. They can use a Paper Potter to recycle newspapers into biodegradable seedling pots and then watch the seedlings grow. Wormeries are a great way of getting kids involved in recycling and learning about the worms habitat.
Energy meters are useful for teaching children about energy saving as they can see the impact of switching appliances on and off. For families that like to leave a light on at night, it is worth investing in an eco friendly children’s nightlight as it uses very little energy.
