“When we recognize the virtues, the talent, the beauty of Mother Earth, something is born in us. Love is born.” ~ Thich Nhat Hanh
Everyone loves to talk about going green for Earth Day. Coloring books, worksheets, presentations, apps… Of course, they are part of an important and much-needed conversation. But too many times, it’s just that — TALK.
How does a child fall in love with nature?
By spending time there.
And that’s exactly what we’re encouraging you and your family to do this Earth Day. When kids develop a familiarity and fondness for nature, they are more likely to actively protect it.
A picnic, nature walk, family games, gardening… whatever makes the great outdoors come to life for your family. Along with some fabulous eco-conscious companies, we are excited to see where Earth Day takes you this year!
