Yet the playlist is on repeat…let’s see what we can do to hear the next song.
This blog is to help you and your kids find little ways to learn how to do better, to do different, and to inspire change - starting at home!
Where are you living today: your challenge is to complete an impact analysis. There are two options: one is an Ecological Footprint, which looks at things greater than just carbon emissions and is a bit more relatable. The other is a Carbon Footprint analysis, which looks at real-time data for a true look at how your home operates. The Carbon Footprint tool is great for older kids; this can help them learn how to read utility bills. You’ll see an immediate action plan that families can do together!
