As many parents, in the latest years, I have become more conscientious of the environment and the World my children and their children will inherit from us, their parents! Just the thought of having them live among dirty waters and polluted air without the joys of beautiful creatures and forests brakes my heart.
I tried as much as possible to live by example, teaching my kids to respect nature, we are a WHOLE with it, without it we will not survive! We were meant to live together in harmony. I teach them to reuse, recycle, pick up garbage and not throw away garbage without proper disposal. We have made reusable grocery bags and reusable produce bags all with the hopes with entice others to follow and place in them the seed. May be my grandkids will someday enjoy the benefits!
I have been very blessed for the friends and people that I have got to know, and one of them is a parent in our beautiful Waldorf School in Miami, Esther. She is the founder of a fantastic Nonprofit Foundation called “Kids Love Mother Earth”. She is the most passionate environmental mommy I have met and her commitment in raising conscientious kids and parents brought her foundation to a lovely reality.
Their website http://www.klme.org is packed with beautiful pictures, nature sounds and awesome information for kids of all ages to actually engage and actively participate in the protection of our Beloved Mother Earth! The group of people behind this foundation truly care about the world we live in, and they have make it their job to protect it and to teach others to do the same. Take some time to visit this site along with your kids and share the knowledge!
As part of the efforts of “Kids Love Mother Earth” they have partnered up with a group of green activists in Miami to celebrate this Saturday, October 24th, 2009, the “International Day of Climate Action”.
