Education is the key.

We only protect what we love,

We only love what we know,

We only know what we learn about.

So you want to be a good role model and teach kids—whether your own, nieces and nephews or a classroom—how to respect nature, be mindful of the waste they create and more. In short, to teach them about sustainability. And have fun doing it. Where do you start?
