Eco-tips and our children

The green movement starts with everyday citizens. This movement to change the world will be a challenging one. Our children’s environmental living depends on the choices we make today and the example we set for them.  Safe and sound recycling, reducing and reusing tips that we begin to use in our daily lives will set the foundation for eco-sound decisions they will make in future. Start today by showing your children how to become stewards of our planet. Start them on the path to Going Green today!
Here a simple tips for earth-friendly living for you and your children. Remember to explain to your family their impact on the planet and why you are considering going green and what they can do to help.
