Top Ten Things You Can Do for Your Children

1. Walk or bike your kids to school, or if that's not feasible, ride on weekends--a family that bikes together saves the planet together!

2. Make sure their toys are PVC-free--keep them from breathing in any offgasing plastic softeners.

3. Don't reward with toys. Try to teach them that happiness doesn't comes from buying new things, and the planet doesn't need the resource extraction, chemical-pollution and landfill clogging that comes with making and eventually trashing them.

4. Use natural shampoos, creams and soaps. What you put on your young one's body is as important as what you put in it.

5. Feed them organic whenever you can afford it, so they get a pesticide-, hormone-, and antibiotic-free diet.

6. Eat local and shop local, supporting your community whenever possible.

7. Say no to high-fat, high-sugar, chemical-laden processed foods. There are plenty of natural alternatives, even for packaged kids' snacks.

8. Create a non-toxic nursery or kids' room full of earth-loving children's books.

9. Resist the urge to swaddle your babe in landfill-clogging disposable diapers. But if cloth is out of the question, get unbleached,chlorine-free throw-away ones.

10. Teach them to love nature: take them to the park, on little hikes, or picnics in conservation centres.
