The most delicate part in this world is the environment. Anything natural around us is our environment. It is very important to save and secure it from both natural calamity and man-made disasters. Men are involving and enhancing the mindless deforestation that is resulting into land slide, earth quake and flood. So, it is very important to save this to save ourselves. For this it is very important to make our next generation aware about the importance of the environment and to make them understand how their existence is directly related to the existence of the environment.
So, it is everyone’s duty to save it. Here are top 5 ideas to make your child environmentally conscious.
1) Encouraging the reusing and recycling of materials
One of the best way to keep the equilibrium of the natural resources intact is to make re-use of the same materials. You can teach this to your child from the very beginning. How to use everything in a recycling manner is to make them aware that one thing is not just one to use and throw. It can be clothes, it can be home accessories, it can even be something broken. First you need to inform them that they must use least amount of plastic as it is harmful for the environment. It never decays, rather causes land and air pollution. So, they should put an end to the use of plastic such as some type of birthday gifts, made up of similar materials, to make their loveable environment live long.
2) Love of animals And Flower Gift of nature
It is very important to love each and every inch of bit of the nature as it nurtures us. Besides human beings, there are other lives around us as well- the animals and the plants. The plants are the main source of oxygen in nature for which we breathe and live. If we cut down these trees, then there will be depletion in the oxygen level n air and every life will be in danger. Besides, if you love the souls around, you will get back the love from them. SO, it is very important to keep the harmony of the environment intact by showering love on the plants and animals around.
3) Plant a tree and nurture it
There is nothing more important and achieving in life than to bring in and nurture a new life. Plants and trees are lives and our life-lines as well. If we can plant one tree around us each year and nurture them, we will be doing our part to save the environment. You can teach your child better if you also do the same with him/her. Every household has some land. There you can plant a tree on every Environment Day, which is 5th of June, along with your children. This will be no less an effort than to save the nature. You can also send flowers to USA to your beloved with a letter of asking them to plant a tree around and do their own part to save the world.
4) Encourage your kids For Eco Friendly Parties
We all love to enjoy every moment in our life. But we can add as much as we can in our life as well to make it worth for living. If you can teach your child that they can celebrate occasions in a way that doesn’t harm the environment, they will be interested. As they are kids and they plan randomly, very time they talk of celebration, you better go for the eco-friendly ones-the one in the nature with all natural things to play and celebrate with. Usage of paper-plates and glasses will be saving some of the damage of the environment.
5) Volunteering with the community
Be a part of the community that is responsible and doing their best to save the world. And take your child with you as volunteer so that he/she can learn how to be an active part of the environment to save it for their and their future generation. They will know from the childhood how important environment is and it is our duty to protect it.
Environment is the reason we all are living. So, it is our first and foremost duty to love and protect this. Above are the best ways to raise an environmentally conscious child.
