The best way to raise an eco-conscious child is to be an eco-conscious parent. Live by the principle of the three R’s—reduce, reuse, recycle—and involve your child in the process. Talk about how your personal choices can impact the environment and look for opportunities to make a difference—for example, by volunteering for cleanup days at a nearby park, using public transit or riding your bike instead of taking the car, and shopping for organic, locally grown food.
