As parents, we’re charged with teaching our children a never ending list of important lessons, values and life skills in preparation for life as an adult. Each of our lists are unique. Some parents place a major emphasis on responsibility and self-care, while other parents may focus more on morals and values.

But where on your list of “Stuff I Must Teach My Kids Before They Grow Up” does caring for the Earth fall?

I was born and raised on the island of Oahu, Hawaii, where my parents instilled within me important values integral to the Hawaiian culture. Love, respect and the preservation of our environment was modeled early on. We cleaned beaches, recycled on a regular basis and never took more from the land or ocean than we needed.

As an adult, I’m staying true to my Hawaiian roots and keeping my love for the environment alive by passing the same lessons and values along to my children as well.

I’m teaching them to love and care for our environment, live green and be earth friendly by…

• Reducing the amount of waste we produce by using reusable cloths to clean our windows, counters and tabless.
• Using less energy by harnessing the power of the sun to light our home by pulling the curtains back during the day.
• Recycling.
• Limiting the length of our showers.
• Using eco-friendly products like Seventh Generation household cleaning, laundry and baby care products.

Seventh Generation products are amazing. They recently sent us a free package of diapers and baby wipes and we absolutely loved them. The diapers are free of chlorine processing, petroleum-based lotions, fragrances and latex and they were super absorbent as well. And the wipes were gentle enough to use on our little girl’s face. No dyes, fragrances, alcohol or chlorine!

Using eco-friendly products is an important step toward teaching my children about conservation, and Seventh Generation and Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax have joined forces to inspire families to save the earth’s resources with conscious consumption. Created with our little ones and the environment in mind, Seventh Generation is the natural choice for high-quality and effective products free of fragrances, latex, chlorine and other harmful chemicals. Make a difference by choosing Seventh Generation, now offering free shipping for orders over $50. As the Lorax says, “Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not.”
