My son brought this home from school and I thought I would share a the short blurb with all of you:

Going green
Teach your youngster what it means to reuse,reduce and recycle. Here are everyday ways she or he can help protect the enviroment.

REUSE-Suggest that your child plant seeds in an egg carton or use shoe boxes to organize her dresser drawers.

REDUCE-Ask her to make "Turn off" signs to post near light switches and electronics and to turn off the water while brushing their teeth.

RECYLCE-Encourage your youngser to use both sides of computer paper and use newspaper comics for wrapping paper.

TIP-Each day your child does something to help the Earth, have her color that day's caldar square green. How many green days can she have in a month!

My dh could use those turn off signs and last year my son planted a tomato plant seed in a cup and we replanted at home let me tell you it was our best growing plant and he was so darn proud of himself whenever we got tomatos from it

It's never too early to get kids use to being "green". Thanks for sharing.
