Shidonna Raven Garen & Cook KIDS

School-age kids

1. Elementary school kids can help with shopping for recyclable products. Have them look for labels that say recycled content, pre-consumer and post-consumer.

2. Kids can place small recycling bins in each bathroom in the house. Bonus points if you can get them to empty them each week into the curbside recycling bin!

3. Show them how to use reusable rags instead of paper towels to clean up messes.

4. Create a compost pile, whether on the kitchen counter or in your backyard. Kids can throw in egg shells, coffee grounds and most food scraps and wait for them to turn into rich soil for use with plants outside and in.

5. Encourage them to sign up to pick up trash from community spaces like playgrounds, parks or beaches.

6. Teach them to turn off the lights when they leave the room

7. Let the kids make signs in every room of the house that remind family members to turn off the lights.

8. Use reusable water bottles rather than single-use plastic bottles.

9. Plant a tree at school or home.

10. Plant milkweed native to your area to help the monarch butterfly population.
