By Energy conservation is incredibly important for several reasons. Along with reducing our reliance on non-renewable energy resources (like fossil fuels), it also helps save you money on energy costs, including utility bills and other energy bills.
Here are three ways to teach your kids about wastage, as well as to get your kids involved in the energy conservation movement.
Stage A Pop Up Quiz
After explaining how certain behaviours affect energy usage and why you’re trying to use less of it, conduct a quiz and surprise your kids with prizes to boost their enthusiasm. A quiz with prizes would be a great way to encourage your kids to save electricity in their day to day lives, as well as understand the importance of conserving energy for the environment.
Play “I Spy The Energy Waster”
When you’re confident your kids understand how your home consumes energy and what you can do as a family to be more energy savvy, play a game of ‘I spy the energy waster’ where you all take turns identifying things you could improve on.
Cook An Energy-Free Meal!
Holding off on using appliances like your oven as well as things like blenders, mixers and microwaves is an easy way to save energy a couple of times a week and will encourage your kids to appreciate all the ways kitchens use energy.
Engage them even more by letting your kids choose the meals. This is an excellent way to get the entire family involved in conserving energy, as well as engage your kids’ minds to think outside the box.
