Recently, I wrote an article about how children who are readily exposed to nature & wildlife focused activities while on vacation, are also taught valuable lessons about preserving our environment.<br /><br />http://www.yourtravelchoice.org/2011/02/how-children-benefit-from-an-ecotourism-experience/ <br /><br />Hope that is valuable to your readers as well.Irene Lanehttp://www.greenloons.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7083809953147059948.post-67531537260713840892011-03-05T13:13:42.905-05:002011-03-05T13:13:42.905-05:00Thanks for sharing these great ideas. I think the ...Thanks for sharing these great ideas. I think the key takeaway for me is the importance of ensuring my kids understand why we do such things, not just that we do them.<br /><br />One area that wasn't called out directly was the refuse we generate from fast food restaurants. I'm as guilty as anyone about overrelying on the convenience and "fun" of fast food restaurants (e.g., playgrounds and toys), but the waste generated by all of the packaging really adds up. One of our favorite local establishments offers milk and fruit in recyclable plastic containers, but offers no recycling on premise. So, we've begun taking our recyclables home with us in one of the recyclable paper bags containing our kids meal. While relying less on such establishments may be more impactful, at least taking more responsibility for the impact of our patronage is a good start. <br /><br />Lastly, my kids seem to enjoy music with a message, like Jack Johnson's "3 R's" song from the Curious George sound track. Having other voices emphasize what us parents are trying to get across can help with the development of such a green consciousness from an early age.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
