Make a difference!

There are plenty of ways that you and your children can help take care of our common home and help move towards a world that runs entirely on green energy. Here are a few ideas that you and your family could adopt:

Yes we can!

A hurdle on the path to a world running entirely on green energy is the doubt among some people that it is possible. It is possible. Renewable energy is now cheaper than fossil fuel-based energy, leaving no excuses not to replace fossil fuels with wind and solar energy. The future is as bright as we want it to be, and we all need to spread the word!

Consider who you vote for

This isn’t really one for the kids, but more a tip for you as a parent: politicians play a major role in defining the future. Ask the politicians you support to take action to phase out fossil fuels and speed up the build-out of green energy.

How green is your pension scheme?

Pension funds invest huge sums of money into the economy every year. Look into whether your pension company considers the climate impact of their investments.

Talk to your school

Explain to your child’s school leadership team that teaching your child to live green is a priority for you, and maybe suggest that it becomes part of the curriculum.

Eat your greens

Cutting down on your meat intake can do wonders for the planet, and eating more plant-based foods will provide you with a tasty, healthy and future-friendly alternative to meat. As we said earlier though, try to stick to local produce for maximum effect!

Sort it out

There are plenty of opportunities to sort your rubbish, so it can be processed and recycled correctly. But try to throw less away in general.

Walk on

Walking or biking instead of taking the car can save the atmosphere from significant amounts of carbon dioxide emissions. And it’ll keep you fit too!

Experience the beauty of nature

Nothing beats a nature trip. Kids love them, and a good trip into the wild will help them appreciate nature more if they experience it in person. Discuss your experiences and try to give them an understanding of why we need to take action to help nature continue to flourish.
