So the tips I will be laying out might not really save the planet but it will at least keep your surroundings clean. It will also help your budget, teach your children how to care for the environment, and help keep your conscience clean (at least when it comes to keeping the earth clean and green). There are so many other things you can do to help keep our environment as clean as possible but I chose these because you can do it as a family. If you have any ideas feel free to comment so I can try them out myself!

Gardening Family

Watch TV together - You might not always agree on the shows to watch and the kids might end up fighting for the remote. Consider it a lesson on sharing and compromise. If the fighting over the remote just can’t be stopped you can chalk it up to exercise time as well. Seriously though you will save electricity and so energy and your money by doing this.

Go for “clean up” walks - Walk around the block at least once a week. Take a trash bag with you and pick up trash as you go along. Benefits include good health, bonding time, and a lesson in keeping your neighbourhood clean. You never know your neighbours might pick up the same habit.

Gardening - You can make the entire garden a family project by assigning small plots to each member or you can just make a small terrarium. Whatever works for you. The important thing is to spend more time together while creating something of value to our environment.
