Raising a child today requires taking on more responsibility, not only to those around us, but to the environment as well. As we collectively try to make more eco-conscious choices to secure our children’s futures, we should allow them to explore nature as it is, even if it means dirt all over them. It also gives them a chance to understand why protecting our environment is so important.
Following on from previous years’ commitments, Breeze continues to encourage moms and kids to say “yes” to these seemingly chaotic experiences in order to explore freely and get dirty forever! With the launch of its eco-friendly formula in 2021, Breeze with #EcoClean Technology offers parents an efficient and powerful cleaning solution that washes away even the most stubborn stains in one go, now with more environmentally friendly ingredients!
The trusted detergent brand is calling on all homes to get dirty forever and make the #EcoClean choice. Here are some ways you can start an eco-project at home:
Make recycling fun
Growing up, we’ve all heard of “reduce, reuse, and recycle” as an easy way to remind ourselves the basics of protecting the environment. Passing this mantra on to the next generation, we can teach our children why it is important to collect our waste and sort it for recycling. Mom Chinie Go encouraged her own little snow to get involved in recycling when she was 5 years old, collecting trash she found on the beach and even recycling boxes and plastics at home. Echoing this, mom Renelyn Tolledo Simon and her daughter turned upcycled bikes into a creative art attack, turning old shoe boxes and plastic bottles into souvenir boxes and planters!
Create your own garden at home
No matter how big your home is, plants and vegetable gardens can bring them to life! Start small and emphasize the importance of recycling. Teach your child about a balanced ecosystem by growing sprouts in recycled plastic containers as flower pots. Mum Sam Lewis and son Lukas created their indoor edible garden out of peaches, lettuce and sili, while mum Nicole Macasaet used their little planter to teach her kids about photosynthesis and how plants produce oxygen.
By reminding your kids to water their plants every day, it also instills a sense of responsibility to actively care about the green spaces around them. Moms Cham Estrera-Magsaysay and Jam Vinculado make sure their kids include watering in their routine.
Infuse science into your recycling activities
For parents of curious kids, try adding a spin on science and education to teach your kids about the environment! Not just recycling, you can try making your own compost at home to further develop their mindset of taking care of their surroundings. Mom blogger Ara Casas-Tumuran and her “zealous beaver” Yanna help their gardens thrive by experimenting with soil, leaves and vegetable peels to create their own fertilizer that’s getting dirty forever. Mommy Ara even admits, “Yanna asks endless science-related questions like what do we get out of it, how long does it take, does it smell, etc.,” demonstrating the developmental mindset of a future environmentalist.
Start donating your plastic at The Plastic Flamingo
This year, Breeze partnered with The Plastic Flamingo (PLAF) to fund the collection and upcycling of 16,000 kilograms of plastic into ecological wood that can be used to build schools, homes and shelters. Breeze and PLAF are also encouraging all households to collect plastic waste that can be found at home, including empty Breeze pouches, and take them to PLAF’s collection point, which is located at the first-floor concierge desk in downtown UP.
Join the Breeze Eco Squad today!
In addition to donating plastic and doing other ecological projects, you can continue to educate and nurture your children’s environmental awareness by joining EcoSquad. Last year, Breeze partnered with the Knowledge Channel to launch the EcoSquad project in Marikina to raise environmental awareness among children through online events, a series of videos and a program they hope to expand further this year in different areas. Check out the Knowledge Channel Youtube page to watch educational videos to teach you and your kids more about how to protect the environment.
While your child’s outdoor learning experience may still be very limited these days, even at home, you can engage in fun activities as a family to develop your child’s awareness and love of the environment.
