10 good habits for the environment to activate together with your children? Here’s what to do to help save their future, one small step at a time. 10 GOOD HABITS FOR THE ENVIRONMENT

Do The Separate Collection

Let’s start with the activity that may seem the most trivial of all, but it is not. Children are the most precious allies for separate collection because they were born in a world that already provides door-to-door collection and waste separation, because often dedicated workshops are held at school, and therefore they are very well prepared compared to many adults who could show insensitivity to the subject. In short, the little ones can become the perfect testimonials between friends and family to convince even the hardest bones to differentiate.

Getting Around By Bike Or Public Transport

If we introduce our children to sustainable mobility, their habit of using bikes, public transport and car sharing will be very strong as adults. Moving around with their car will really be a last resort for them when it really cannot be done otherwise. And then if you tell your child “shall we go by bike to do the shopping?” the answer will be enthusiastic.

Eating At Km 0

Learn together the seasonality of fruit and vegetables and also which products are present or not in the area, do not buy what comes from far away polluting through transport, consume less meat preferring quality and proximity. All this not only helps the environment but also contributes to your child’s proper nutritional education.

Use The Cloth Bags For Shopping

Switching completely to cloth bags to carry shopping, especially those that can be carried on the shoulder, allows older children to help mum and dad with the transport of groceries. Maybe have them carry the lighter products but allow them to help out and create a habit. You will see that when you go to the supermarket or the market, he will remind you to take the bags.

Self-Producing Together

Preparing bread, pizza, sweets, biscuits and various snacks together is a beautiful, fun and educational experience. And then growing small vegetables on the balcony, basil, mint or other, will be a great satisfaction for your child.

Bottle And Tap Water

Using the water bottle, to be put every day in the school backpack, perhaps full of tap water, means reducing the plastic bottles in circulation and getting the little one used to never moving without it. Even mum and dad should always have a water bottle in their bag or backpack, to be washed daily and refilled at the tap at home or at the drinking fountains around the cities.

Beware Of The Toilet!

Staying on the subject of water: flushing the toilet is everyone’s responsibility. It is important to learn with the little ones to use the small button, in the case of a two-button flush, when you just pee, adjust the jet to the minimum with the crank, pee all in succession when you are about to go out and then there. last pulls the drain.

Save Electricity

Young and old should always turn off the lights in the rooms of the house where they do not stop and remember to replace the bulbs with low consumption ones. And then never leave televisions and other electrical and electronic devices on standby.

Consume Less In Clothing

Used clothes play an increasingly important role in the waste that suffocates the planet. Children’s clothes, since they grow up fast, often last no more than one season. So entering a round of used clothes by taking and giving up, greatly reduces the environmental impact of each child. If the same shirt is used by two or more children for years, waste is reduced and the little ones learn that wearing used clothes is a good practice that they can carry on even as adults.

Playing To Protect The Environment

Last but not least, choose games made of resistant and sustainable materials.

Like the Viking Toys Ecoline line produced with non-toxic and highly impact-resistant materials. Choosing games that withstand time and even improper stresses guarantees their duration and the lowest environmental impact because they do not easily become waste and can also pass from child to child and make many happy.

Another virtuous example is Dantoy’s bioplastic line, products made of plastic made from 100% recyclable sugar cane, such as the bio tipper truck or bioplastic tableware .
