Making Cents: Help protect the planet and occupy the kids

Last week I wrote about ways parents can limit waste during their child’s early years. Given the increased understanding of how serious the situation facing our planet is, our children are likely to grow up far more aware of sustainability than we were at their age.

Pupils entering schools learn about climate change and related issues from primary school. Judging by the Fridays For Future climate change demonstrations, they are absorbing the lessons. Parents can reinforce the message, by practising sustainability and showing children the difference they can make.
