Many important developmental milestones are reached when playing with certain materials, but not all materials are safe. Ask your school to commit to finding the safest art supplies on the market.

Some permanent markers, paints, modeling clays, and rubber cement aren’t ideal.

Safer versions (that don’t contain hazardous fumes or toxic chemicals) are available. Teachers should be equally mindful of their supplies like whiteboard markers.

The Elementary Years 8 Ways to Encourage Kids to Protect Our Earth In elementary school, our children truly begin to spread their wings, and the openness with which they initially approach this process makes it an ideal moment to lay down a foundation of environmental ethics that will serve them—and our world—well.

We can begin this work by first teaching our children to view the natural world with a sense of wonder. Helping kids appreciate nature’s mysteries promotes instinctive empathy for them, and it is from such empathy that a desire to protect the environment flows.

first step simple: Encourage your kids to get outside!

Tag along as an interpreter as they lift rocks, catch tadpoles, and pluck flowers.

Help them recognize the innate magic of nature that lies in the seemingly ordinary. Teach them that the natural world is a living puzzle whose interconnected parts each deserve respect, not only for the air, water, food, and other essentials they provide, but also for the beauty they offer. These are things kids can and should feel proud about protecting, and the best way to promote that pride is by making them active participants in its practice. Here are some strategies:

Is Your Teen Toxic?

When bodies are developing—as they clearly are with growth-spurting teenagers—they’re more vulnerable to environmental exposures and chemical damage.

Which is why it’s unfortunate that teens tend to be wildly interested in products containing exactly the sort of chemicals they should be avoiding at this stage. Lab tests conducted by The Environmental Working Group revealed adolescent girls across America are contaminated with chemicals commonly used in cosmetics and body care products. They found 16 chemicals from 4 chemical families - phthalates, triclosan, parabens, and musks - in blood and urine samples from 20 teen girls aged 14 to 19. Studies have linked these chemicals to potential health effects including cancer and hormone disruption. Teens are said to use more personal care products containing these very chemicals than adults—17 products to mom’s 12. And boys aren’t immune to the allure of body care products, either. There have been plenty of news reports featuring teenage boys dousing themselves with deodorant sprays. http: / /www.rodale.com /deodorant-body-spray So take a moment to sit down with your teen—or your niece or nephew or the kid of a friend—and talk about the very real hazards of chemicals in everyday products. Let them read the research for themselves. Then make some time to shop with them for safer versions of everything from lipsticks to perfume to nail polish to deodorants. The confusing blow that what they love isn’t safe for them can be softened when they learn you’re not suggesting they give anything up. You’re just helping them replace the bad stuff with something better.

Besides, what teen won’t be delighted by a shopping spree and new cool products?

Off to College

Starting a New Life, Sustainably Heading off to college is more than simply moving up another rung on the educational ladder. From who we are to how we live, adulthood’s formal launch offers a blank canvas and the chance to set ourselves up to live more sustainably. Here are some thoughts on starting off right: First, take only a few things from home. You’ll want clothes, your computer, and a few other essentials, but that’s about it.

You really can’t know what you’ll legitimately need until you get to your dorm. Less is more at this stage; the more clutter you start with, the less you’ll be able to see what your new life genuinely requires.

By the same token, resist the traditional dorm-decorating shopping spree—even if it’s on Mom and Dad. Any purchases should be made with a conscious eye toward avoiding unnecessary spending and stuff you don’t really need.

When the time comes to buy something, put a reduce /reuse / recycle ethic to work. Whether you’re considering a soap dish or a TV, start by asking yourself if you really need it. If so, see if there’s one of whatever you’re looking available at home. If not, try the local thrift shops for recycled options.

When buying new, choose wisely. Avoid cheap mass-market merchandise—it’s generally worth what it costs, which is not very much, and will likely require relatively rapid

replacement. Opt instead for quality and durability. Try to choose natural and sustainable materials rather than plastic and other synthetics. Things made by hand, rather than in factories, are especially nice. When you shop this way, you’ll end up with less stuff, but the stuff you end up with will provide a long life of utility and even beauty.

HIGH SCHOOL

Finally, remember that even though the school pays for things like water, energy, and heat (well, with your tuition dollars), the planet ultimately gets the bill. Consciously conserving these resources will not only protect the environment, it will also train you to reflexively use less in the years ahead when the bill comes directly to you. And that’s part of what these four years are all about: Investing in your future.

Invest in an e-reader. From textbooks to the latest novel, e-books are cheaper, consume far fewer resources, and take up far less space than their paper counterparts. Talk to your college advisors about what they recommend where textbook access is concerned.

Be forever mindful of diet. The freshman fifteen weight gain is no myth nor is the poor quality of many college cafeteria offerings. Start fostering better lifetime eating habits by aiming for a low-environmental-impact, high-health menu based on minimally processed whole foods, especially fruits, vegetables, and grains. Go organic when feasible. You’ll feel better.
