Environmental Education: Shaping Tomorrow’s Green Leaders

When children develop great eco-friendly habits as they are growing up

After a while all this pollution will stop

It is a goal that seems impossible to achieve

But if we work towards it after a while we will have no need to grieve

We could dream of having a world that is just as beautiful as it was before

And a world where there is enough food for everyone to eat, we could all feel secure

A world in which there is no high energy cost and air pollution

We can set the goal and use more of the many climate solutions

Children and their Green Adventure

Environmental education can become a new adventure

Are you ready to empower the children so they can have a great future?

Becoming a green parent and giving children eco-friendly tips became an easy thing to do

Children are now learning about environmental protection in a way that is brand new

They are building environmental protection awareness by growing eco clubs in schools

They don’t want to grow up and simply follow the polluters rules

They want to do all they can to have a huge impact

That is why they are using environmental solutions and facts

They are planting seeds that will one day become tall trees

As they make new homes for the birds and the bees

How Environmental Education for Children Helps

Environmental education for children can significantly influence family environmental behaviors through several key mechanisms:

With direct knowledge transfer, children often share what they learn at school with their families, becoming environmental educators at home. They explain concepts like recycling, energy conservation, or water preservation, helping parents understand environmental issues and solutions. For example, a child learning about plastic pollution might teach their parents about reusable shopping bags or proper recycling methods.

Environmental education will have an emotional Impact and Motivation for children.
Their genuine concern for environmental issues can create a powerful emotional response in parents. The change cause by environmental education will have a long term impact as children develop green habits that will stay with them until they are adults.

Environmental education can lead to changes and family Practices and specific action-oriented behaviors that children implement at home.

Economic Benefits
Many environmental practices taught to children also have financial benefits for families:

• Reduced energy bills through conservation: When families begin conserving in many ways their bills are easily reduced. The money they save will be invested in many ways to improve the financial future of the family.
• Lower water usage costs: Water is a precious resource we need to protect. We are making our future bright when every member of every family conserves water. Our farmers will have enough water to grow their crops when we conserve water in our homes.
• Savings from reusing items instead of buying new ones: When families are busy reusing items as they save money and protect the environment. There will be less mining and destruction of the soil in places where mining takes place. Less new products will be needed.
• Reduced food waste through proper storage and composting: Store fruits and vegetables separately. Many fruits release ethylene gas that speeds ripening. Keep herbs fresh by trimming stems and placing in water, covered with a plastic bag. Use airtight containers for dry goods and leftovers. Follow FIFO (First In, First Out) – rotate older items to the front. Keep fridge at 40°F (4°C) or below, with appropriate humidity levels per drawer.
• Do more Composting: Layer “green” materials (food scraps, grass) with “brown” materials (leaves, paper). Maintain proper moisture – should feel like a wrung-out sponge. Turn pile regularly for aeration. Ideal size: 3x3x3 feet minimum. Keep meat, dairy, oils out of compost.
• Food Prep Tips: Plan meals and shop with a list, freeze excess produce before spoiling, use vegetable scraps for stock, process and preserve bulk purchases promptly and check stored items weekly for spoilage.

Conclusion:

Building environmental protection awareness is a part of a great plan that will help us to achieve the sustainable development goals. Having a green future is more than just an awesome idea and it is not too late for us to work towards having it.

Do you agree that there is a lot more, children can do when they start using eco-friendly solutions to decrease pollution? Would you be willing to encourage more children to assist in decreasing bills as they save the planet ? Do you think having an environmental book project for children is good?
