Environmentally Friendly For Kids
November 16, 2009
Maybe your child doesn’t understand the concept of carbon footprints and eco-friendly manufacturing just yet. I mean, 5 is a very young age to start! But that doesn’t mean environmentally conscious parents can’t fully indulge in eco-friendly products.
For example, these pocket kids games are a great, inexpensive way to promote ‘going green’. The pages are made of post-consumer materials and kids will doing the activities. Kid-friendly promotional items are great for daycares or community events.
On a side note, I found a really incredible kids site the other day for inspiring creativity in children. Most of the activities are done online to conserve paper, keeping with the green theme. Then once a month Uncle Envelope will send children a special paper craft straight to their mailbox. I just heard about it the other day and thought it was the most adorable idea! Imagine how much you could accomplish with a promotion modeled off of that. After all, snail mail may be going the way of the phonograph but children still get a thrill out of seeing their name on an envelope! Especially an eco-friendly envelope!
It is good to get children interested in green living
Climatarians | J. Hoogstrate | November 18, 2009It is good to get children interested in green living as early as possible. But as you have indicated, very young children may not understand what it is all about. But it is good to train them up in a green way of life so that it comes second nature to them. We run a global sustainability directory called Climatarians where we list websites and blogs that talk about environmental issues.
