Great article! We have a 2 year old, and we're trying to teach her "green" lessons, although we have far to go! We garden, use cloth bags and go to the farmer's market, reuse things for crafts, we used cloth diapers and wipes, and she helps us put things in the recycling and compost bins. Also things she wouldn't understand now, but hopefully she will as she gets older, like choosing sustainably grown wood to make a picnic table and using a non-toxic/seed oil stain (hard to find!) .

We just live it, without fanfare, marketing or any real special effort. We take only re-usable bags to the store, and we look for food that has no plastic packaging. Everything we buy, we consider how it will be disposed of. We reduce our consumption whenever possible. We look for ways to give, rather than take. We just live it. It's not special, it's just How It Is. Amy´s last blog post...Religion doesn't work

We can't even get our girls to understand the importance of recycling. Go clean your room means tossing all pop cans, water bottles etc in the normal garbage. then good ole dad must go fetch these out to recycle. However, on a more positive note, we do garden in a rented plot we got from the city. You won't believe how many families we now see there. Maybe due to the recession or people are more aware now of the importance of growing organic vegetables and the power of spending time as a family doing so. When I spoke with the administrator of the community gardens she said this is the 1st year all the plots in the city were sold/used.

Are garbage trucks a universal obsession ?
So true, we can teach a lot using garbage trucks – we learned the days of the week that way too!

A shared garden is a great idea! I think I might have to do that
