Looking for a great way to explain carbon footprints to your children? Eben and I have been really enjoying Zero Footprint Kids and he was surprised to see that there are areas that he needs to work on offsetting his own carbon footprint. We also learned that as a family, we need to do less laundry and turn our computers off when we aren’t using them. It also has a great section on school, he learned that he should talk to his school about recycling all of its paper in the classrooms.
The measurements are made in terms kids understand carbon, land, water, and trees. I encourage you to take the quiz with your child – we would love to hear how you did.
What can you do together to lessen your family’s impact on our planet?
