As a family, we’re all becoming increasingly aware of the impact we’re having on the environment and while no one is perfect, if we all aim to change one or two things in our routine it soon adds up. Here are seven ways to raise your kids in a sustainable way.
1. Get your little ones to wear aprons at dinner time
Asking your children to wear an apron at meal times means their clothes will stay cleaner for longer, so you don’t have to wash them as often – great for the environment and for you. If your child is particularly resistant to wearing an apron, then don't panic. My daughter refused to wear one, until her grandma bought her a special one and now, she's more than happy to. Choose with them one that they love, and they’ll be much more likely to wear it.
