I've been trying to buy greener cleaning products and organic milk & produce. I also try to bring reusable bags to the grocery store when shopping. Every little bit helps.

The more you tell your kids, "we are go to do this because it is a nice thing to do for our planet". The more you will notice other easy things you can also do. The kids are likely to start telling you not to be wasteful...lol. Every little bit helps. The more you tell your kids, “we are go to do this because it is a nice thing to do for our planet”.

I also love your list -- I think it is very important to start teaching kids about the environment, then it is more likely they will carry on through adulthood. Thanks for mentioning my green post!

I have great hope for future greens based on my children's interest in reminding me not to waste plastic.
