3. Shop Wisely

Take the kids for shopping along with you and buy only those things which they need most. It will teach them the art of minimalism and various skills for shopping.

Don’t forget to use canvas bags for shopping.

4. Conserve Water

Use water wisely while brushing teeth, washing clothes, and utensils. Make sure to close the taps tightly after every use.

Water-saving techniques will help our future generations to live a better life.

5. Conserve Energy

Use the air-conditioners for an hour or two less every day. Try to switch it on only when you enter the room and switch it off once the temperature is maintained.

Using less of air-conditioners is also good for skin during summers.

Make sure to clean the filters at least once a week as choked filters lead to improper cooling and more power consumption.

7. Use Sunlight

Make more use of sunlight by withdrawing the curtains of the glass windows. Even while studying, using sunlight is beneficial to study more effectively.

Educate kids about solar-power-panels and use the same to conserve energy.

Teach kids to water the outdoor plants also at least twice a day during summers.

Help them to plant more trees as trees have environmental, social, and economic benefits. Planting trees are one of the best things which we can do for our planet. Trees provide us oxygen to breathe, habitat for wildlife and birds, reduce ozone levels, and also helps to reduce pollution that affects our health.
