Ten Simple Tips on Going Green with Your Kids

Committing yourself to being green (or greener) sounds pretty simple in retrospect. Recycle more, waste less and use organic products — easy as apple-bought-from-your-local-farmer’s-market, right? However, convincing your family (namely your kids) to follow in your footsteps can be a bit more challenging. After you explain the importance of being eco-friendly to your family, let them know that even the littlest things they do and changes they make every day can help lead to a cleaner, greener environment.

Bring your children to a local farmer’s market and pick out plants to have in the house together. Literally green! Pretty plants help improve the flow of oxygen in your home.
