Description
Talk to kids about why our environment matters to our well-being, your environmental actions, and why they matter!
As the next generations grow older, so will their environmental impact. It is great to start them on the right path while they are young. Learning good habits and why they matter from a young age is easier than changing ingrained bad habits decades later.
Children today have a good chance of seeing the year 2100. It sounds so far away, yet it will be their reality. Set them and the future world up for success.

Tips
• Talk to children about environmental actions and why you are doing them. For example, why you use certain products, why our environment is vital to our prosperity, and why the world is phasing out burning oil and gas.
• Let them help! Find age-appropriate ways for kids to get involved in environmental action. This can be a great excuse to get outside and have fun or engage them more in projects around the house.
• Watch kid-friendly environmental documentaries or programs together.
• Have conversations about good and bad things for our environment. Help them see the big picture about how things work, where our food comes from, and how products are made. Keep the conversation on their level, but be honest and expand their horizons!
