Big changes start with little hands! 🌍💚

Liam and I talk about what kids can do to lead their family towards a sustainable life.

Watching our kids embrace eco-friendly habits has been such an inspiration. From turning off lights to reusing and recycling, they’re leading the way on our family’s journey to sustainability.

🌱 It’s a reminder that the future is in good hands when we teach them today. What’s one green habit your little ones have picked up? #SustainabilityJourney #KidsLeadTheWay #EcoFriendlyLiving” #trashtalktuesday #thezerowastefamily #sustainableliving #sustainablekids
