Global warming has rapidly increased in the past few decades and now more than ever it's posing a real threat to the world. Deforestation, overuse of plastics, pollutants and whatnot have been destroying our planet and despite that companies have refused to tone down on the damages they cause to the environment. While we can't make a mogul company stop ruining the environment, what we can do is change our own habits so that we can play an effective part in protecting our environment. This also includes teaching your children how to care for the environment so that they grow up to be responsible adults. Here are some tips that might help you out.

Say no to plastic as often as you can. Replace plastic bottles with steel or glass bottles, replace plastic jars with glass jars and when you head out, take your own bag made of cloth instead of opting for plastic bags. This way, your child will learn how to grow up without plastic and won't be too dependent on it.

Teach your child some gardening and how to take care of a plant, take them bicycling in green areas, tell them how the trees help provide shade and oxygen. The more they're aware of how their habits can help shape the environment and what effects it has on us the more likely they are to take an active interest in helping the environment.

One of the most annoying things that people can do is throw waste on the roads despite there being dustbins around. This habit alone can lead to so much accumulation of waste in the environment. So, teach your children that clutter needs to be cleared so that when you head to an open place, you leave it looking as it is.

Take your kids to the park or to green areas to play. You could even go camping if you have the time or you could go trekking with them. This way they'll learn to appreciate the beauty the environment has to offer and they'll really appreciate all the greenery more.
