As parents and teachers we need to educate children about the importance of taking care of our environment and all that surrounds us, teach them to be responsible humans and guide them to make the right decisions in favor of our Earth.
There are so many ways to guide and nurture them but the best is through example, children learn from actions and follow in our footsteps. Hand on experiences are the best, so take your time to teach them how to care for our nature.
Here are some ways children can help save trees:
1. Use paper wisely by making space for reusable paper, using both sides of paper and replacing paper bags to reusable lunchboxes.
2. Play and create with trash. Instead of throwing out cardboard boxes, paper towels or shoe boxes, children can be creative and play with them by making forts or cardboard cars. Parents can also help them with many DIY activities such as making bird feeders and picture frames.
3. Borrow, share and donate book is great way to save paper.
4. Plant a tree. Although planting trees is a popular Earth Day activity, fall is the season to plant trees and shrubs. Do your homework to make sure you pick the right tree for your space.
5. Visit the forest. Pay homage to trees and forests is to spend time with them. Visit a local state or national park.
6. Staying on the trails during forest visits minimizes impact on wilderness areas, preserving them.
