THIS IS HOW WE DO IT
The best strategy to reduce waste is to avoid creating it. This takes practice, but we can all find creative ways to adjust our habits. Making a new product produces greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change and use a large amount of materials and energy - raw materials must be taken from the earth, the product must be produced, and it must then be delivered to where it will be sold. As a result, the most efficient methods for conserving natural resources, protecting the environment, and saving money are reduction and reuse.
RECYCLING IS NOT
THE SOLUTION...
BUT IT'S A GREAT START!
Our goal is to provide children, parents and peers with resources that help support their development while empowering them to become environmentally conscious citizens of the world.
