Ways to make kids eco-friendly

Explain the kids about the importance of greenery and how trees produce fresh air and several other benefits to the entire ecosystem. Encourage the kid to grow a plant in your backyard/ garden and let him water the plant regularly. By this, the child will learn the importance of every living being and take an active interest in the protection of the surroundings.

Reuse waste material

Reuse and recycle plastic bottles and boxes to grow saplings or use them in making other interesting items. Similarly use shoe boxes, paper cuttings, useless CDs, tin cans, lids, etc to make useful crafts such as pen stand, bookmark, face mask, puppets, etc. Those ways, kids learn to make most out of waste material and save mother Earth from being polluted.

Celebrate eco-friendly festivals

Festivals mean celebrations but does that mean more pollution as well? Encourage kids to throw waste things such as wrappers, used paper plates, etc in the bin. Reuse egg carton, biodegradable trash bags, used paper bags, used jars, and papers, etc for Halloween decorations. Instead of using too many electric bulbs to celebrate Diwali and Christmas, use earthen pots/ candles as these are not just eco-friendly but mean as a source of income for underprivileged ones. Also, switch to energy-efficient bulbs to save electricity.
                                       

Teach importance of natural resources like water to the kids.
