Hi Guys,

My name is Olive, an environmentally conscious mom of 2.

I am so interested in listening to your ideas on how we can help to save the environment a little at home, I have begun my home schooling journey with my 2 young children after the Coronavirus pandemic and I am struggling at the moment.

Though I have found Twinkl and their https://www.twinkl.ie/go interactive resources and their https://www.twinkl.ie/resource/t-tp-5194-things-that-make-me-happy-activity-sheet Eco ink saving printing option, they also have resources on recycling which I can't wait to use too.

If you have any tips for me on Home Schooling or helping the environment, please let me know - i'd love to hear them :)

Hi Olive. I suppose stressing "reduce, reuse, recycle" within the appropriate subject matter would be favorable--with your home-schooing, I mean. Us first-world in habitants generally grew up in a world where items were used once and disposed of. In my home, we rinse and reuse paper towels. Sometimes, when I discover that toilet paper wasn't even necessary, I just roll it back up....BWAHAHAHA just kidding. But seriously, critical thinking is something I'd push hard if I was home-schooling.

If you were "environmentally conscious" you would have had one or none and later in life.
