I am helping my daughter go green….she now recycles cans and we no longer purchase bottled water
The conversion chart on Aigle’s site is super helpful!
We’re helping our kiddo go green by practicing the three Rs: reduce, reuse, recycle. Our kidlet loves to take out the recycling, and we also try and repurpose objects whenever we can!
Wow. These are really cute! We use cloth diapers around here to go green!
I help my children “go green” by teaching them how to recycle. Just today, when I threw out a moldy jar of salsa, my son said, “Shouldn’t that go in recycling?”! We would love to win a new pair of boots for my three year old daughter!
We use cloth napkins and environmental cleaning products. Our son is too young to understand these things now, but we will teach him as he grows older.

My daughter wants nothing more than a yellow pair of rainboots, so this would be awesome!
We “go green” by using eco-friendly cleaners and buying used toys and passing down our used toys instead of throwing them away.
We are growing a garden together, and we recycle.
We are teaching our kids about recycling and not being wasteful with water, electricity or food.
My kids are green – we have a composter, and we collect unrecyclable bottle caps and send them to aveda who has a program to recycle them!
She drinks out of a stainless steel container instead of plastic ones that we used to throw out.
Our daughter wears cloth diapers and uses cloth napkins. We are now teaching her to turn off water when brushing her teeth.
My kids go through their clothes and toys and select items they would like to donate to Goodwill Shops, community centers and centers for helping families.

I teach my kids by example, and when we food shop, I show them how I don’t buy plastic, disposable things.

my son is going green because he wears mostly organic and uses natural soaps too!
I don’t have kids but I try to teach my nieces and nephews by example! We always use reusable shopping bags, we don’t drink bottled water, we recycle and buy mostly organic.

I just have an infant right now but we are trying to go greener so we can teach her by example… the less trash the better which means less paper towels and more cloth ones and reusing shopping bags for trash cans etc. Those boots are SO cute!!!
These are adorable boots! We are green by cloth diapering, and teaching dd to recycle.
Love the Lolly fruit boots. We are teaching our children how to recycle, compost, and grow their own food in our garden. They make their own gifts for others and we wrap presents in fabric that can be reused.
I am teaching my kids to take shorter showers to conserve water and to use towels over so we don’t have to wash so often. Also am using less paper towels and using cloth rags more.
These boots are so sweet!
When we’re shopping I have them help me pick out products and packaging that are enviro-friendly. They also help me drag the bottles and cans in and recycle them in the machines.
My 1 year old daughter is exclusively cloth diapered, and I wash them myself, not at a chemical diaper service. We also buy a share in a CSA to eat local organic produce and my daughter volunteers to work at the garden planting, weeding and sifting compost. We compost and recycle everything and shop at garage sales and thrift shops.
we are teaching them to recycle how to compost, give away things to places like goodwill and use a reusuable bottle thanks for the chance
I am teaching them to recycle and to garden.
My son is a pro at recycling and he also knows to make sure he turns out the lights when he leave the room.
I’ve been teaching my son about recycling, and not littering.
our daughter is learning to recycle and save energy.
we have a compost pile, garden and recycle.
Great boots! We are teaching our children to be green by recycling, conserving resources and by just plain appreciating the Earth.

helping to recycle. My sister teaches her kids it is a sin if they don’t
We use reusable lunch sets and water bottles.
Simply trying to use less of everything! Do we really need so many tissues to wipe a small nose? Or a bunch of paper towels to clean a small spill? A lot of shampoo for a little head? Etc. Etc. We’ve been trying to teach the kids to only use what they really need.
My daughter helps me sort out items for recycling.
It’s all about teaching the right habits. Conserving electricity, recycling, and finding new ways to personally go green is essential!
I help by encouraging him to shut the bathroom light off when he’s not in there and always telling him not to run so much water!
