Greening our homes is the ‘in’ thing, but it is also important for our Earth and the health of our families. We want our children to grow up happy and healthy, with the ability to live in a clean world as adults.

This post is my way of offering up some simple ways in which you can green your family life:

  • Teach your children to recycle everything that you can. Be a good example to them by showing them the correct way to reduce, reuse and recycle.
  • Grow as much of your own food as you can, in an organic manner.
  • Teach them how to purchase at thrift shops, and why it is important to do so.
  • Show your children how to yard sale and bargain, and tell them why it is importnat to do so.
  • Find natural alternatives to harmful cleaners.
  • Learn to compost as a family.
  • Learn about vermiculture as a family.
  • Reduce the plastic that is in your household.

These ideas are just a springboard. Let us know what ideas you come up with.
