Reusable bottle

Something as simple as carrying a reusable water bottle on top could save the world to a million plastic bottles every minute, according to Plastic Soup Foundation.Putting a reusable bottle in the backpack of the house, always made of safe materials for them, it can be the seed that later makes the impact of all their actions and how these small gestures be issued can minimize it largely.

Zero Waste

When we understand the importance of using less plastic and generating less waste, these routines become simple actions that mark the future of the environment.At a global level, the world generates between 7 billion tons and 10 billion tons of garbage, according to data from the Global Waste Management Conference.The Zero Waste movement took a lot of strength among young people and it is important that children understand the vital importance of the circular economy, where waste is reused or exploited as a source of energy.

Reusable water bottles could save the world up to one million plastic bottles per minute.

In addition, the future of children will be largely technological, so it is essential that they understand the need to recycle these types of materials that wear the jungle for its manufacture and pollute the soils in the vertededos.At global level, more than 50 million tons are generated, according to the Global E-Waste Monitor 2020.The accumulation of this type of waste entails the pollution of soils with materials such as mercury, lithium or coltan.According to a study by Back Market, only in Spain the recycling of mobile phones avoids the emission of 60.000 tons of CO2.

Do not buy, turn your ball

Everything we buy has a greater or lesser impact according to its materials, its durability and its production and packaging process.Along these lines, if we try to buy the least amount of new things we will be helping the planet not to generate so many waste.It is as simple as making sure not to have a lost pencil box in a drawer before buying a new one or save the markers and the pens upside down and well covered to prevent them from drying out.

Color waxes, unlike pencils, contain oil derivatives that are not easily recycled.

Drawing sustainability

In addition, the materials that have been used also have a great weight.For example, colored waxes contain oil derivatives that are not easily recycled.To avoid wasting them, we can make sure to gather all the small pieces that remain after a fun drawing session and use them for another use.Or we can melt them all together in the oven to create new colors and make the most of them.

Small gestures will help them to raise awareness about the impact of their food on the planet and in their health.

The time of the snack

Through food we can make a big difference.Consuming local products, not packaged, not processed and sustainable agriculture is a great advantage for the health of the planet and that of our children.Since childhood, raise awareness of the impact of your food on the planet, and of course in your health, it is essential.Changing the pastries for nuts or fresh fruit will be a good habit acquired for your whole life and will pay attention to the importance of environmental awareness.
