Enough nagging your kids to do something like ‘eat their veggies’ or ‘finish your meal’ already. Instead, make them look forward to do green steps. Wonder how to do that?

Show them that you are also doing what they are supposed to do. Kids are smart, in which they will look at you as their role model and need you to recycle, buy green things, and protect earth first before they do.

Join them as your family do green steps together. They might be young, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that they don’t have brilliant ideas to go green. Listen to what they have to say and maybe you should go outdoors to increase their connection to the environment and improves the chances they’ll want to protect it.

At last, it’s all only about how to make green steps as a fun thing instead of a burdening task. Make it synonymous to eating cookies, biking, and summer holidays, then you’re done!

Energy

You don’t have to buy new solar panels. Just turn off the light every time you leave the room and adjust your thermostat by a few degrees “greener”. Aim for 78 degrees during the summer months and 68 degrees in the winter. These steps will give you even less energy bills.

Water

Always turn off your faucet right after you finish with washing and probably you can do multi-tasking. Use the same water more than once while grooming, cleaning, washing dishes, and playing.  (eg, let your kids play in the sprinkler while you water the lawn.)
