Enviro Kids Tips and Ideas for a Green Planet

Contents at a Glance
When you take a walk - notice the environment
Flowers that received attention grew larger than those that didn't.
Walking, in addition to helping people be physically fit, also helps the environment.Studies have shown that plants that received attention, by just being looked at and all other conditions being equal, grew taller and healthier than plants that didn't receive attention. So just by going out for a walk and enjoying the plant life that is there, contributes to your well being and to the plants well being too.
Have fun - enjoy a walk and contribute to well-being!

I love dirt
Discover nature with your children
I Love Dirt!: 52 Activities to Help You and Your Kids Discover the Wonders of Nature
Amazon Price: $6.94 (as of 05/26/2012)
"I love the outdoors and sharing it with my kids, and I loved Richard Louv's book Last Child in the Woods. So I was eager to read this new paperback that contains 52 easy ways to experience nature with one's kids and educate them about it.
I was really impressed by this book: short chapters divided into four seasons, with suggested activities to experience and concurrent teaching points about biology, physics, and the environment to help the little ones understand what they are seeing and doing.
Over and over again I caught myself thinking, "What a great idea... yea, that's a good one... gee, I didn't know that... I'm going to have to try that one out!"
A great book to read for any parent, grandparent, or anyone else involved in young people's lives. Go get a copy!" James John Hollandsworth

Recycle and Re-Use Tips
Depending on your area, some recyle items may be picked up on garbage day, and some recycle items may have to be taken to a recyling center.
When shopping, one can take a re-usable bag.
Plastic bags can also be re-used. For example, they can be used as liners for small trash cans; they can also be used as small garbage bags for pet waste.
Many grocery stores have containers for recycling plastic bags.
So when it comes to being earth friendly, we can recycle and/or re-use.
Earth Write Pencils
By using products made from recycled materials:
We reduce the amount of waste that goes to land fills.
We reduce the amount of trees used in the making of those products.
Recycled newspaper is helping out in the making of earth friendly pencils.
