Eco Consciousness Starts From Home

I firmly believe that our ethics was heavily molded in our childhood years. These were the years when we have no idea how to act in this crazy, heavily-laden with issues world so we just took after our supposedly role models i.e adults around us. It’s funny how hard we deny our caregivers’ characteristics—even despise at times—and yet be able to carry them to our own adulthood. It’s because these characteristics are deeply embedded in our own subconscious minds that if reflex has it, it will certainly come out unabashed.

It was also said that the earliest you can train your child of certain things, the better he or she will absorb the things you want them to perceive. This may be true and with this I also hope the next generation to be more eco conscious than the generation we are living right now since together with us, our kids are the ones experiencing the many diverse effects of climate change, global warming and other eco-related issues.

It is very important for us parents to start encouraging our kids to be more conscious of our environment. Who else would teach them anyway? Of course, if you want them to accept the practice better, you might want to change your ways for the better too. Learning with them is a great way to ensure bond and save the environment at the same time. Help them see the importance of educating one’s self and how they can help the environment in their own little ways by providing them with all the materials they need such as reading materials and short field trips around your area.
