Trying to figure out how to teach your kids about energy conservation? We’ve got a few suggestions to get the conversation started and get your family on its way to becoming better global citizens. It all starts with the next generation.
Watch Some Shows Together: Get out the Direct TV and tune into some of the great new shows featuring green technology. Try HGTV and even Nickelodeon for socially responsible options.
Go Local: One of the best ways to impart life long habits on your kids is to lead by example. Take them to the farmer’s market and show them the health and earth benefits of eating locally – it’s better for the environment and for your waistline.
Take a Field Trip: If the opportunity is available, take your kids to a power plant or dam to show them firsthand how energy works. There’s a lot of value in showing your kids how a windmill works or what it takes to light up a lightbulb. Sure beats the potato run clocks of years ago, right?
