There is no better place to start being kind to the environment than your own backyard.  Here are a few ideas for this coming summer!

 

Teach your kids to garden

Think about the environment as your garden grows.  What kind of pest control, fertilizers, & gardening styles will be kindest to the environment while helping the garden grow?

 

Plant trees

Help your child plan for the future by planting a few small trees in the yard that will eventually replace the bigger trees. Those trees may be small now, but will continue to grow and better the environment over many years.  This helps kids understand that their choices can impact the future of the environment. Planting trees is a way we can be kind to future generations of people, too!
