challenges of getting the whole family to be environmentally friendly is that they take it so seriously. It sounds like a drag, as though it requires you to deprive yourself. And in many ways you should deprive yourself, or at least cut back, which to many is the same thing.

But that doesn’t mean you can’t have fun.

1. Explore thrift stores.

You can find some amazing things at most thrift stores. Shopping at them means a lot less guilt since you aren’t buying new. And while you shouldn’t go overboard still, you have more reason to buy things just because they appeal to your sense of fun.

2. Reward the kids for turning excess lights off.

Chart it or make it a competition. Just keep a sense of fun about it and have a little reward for whoever does the best at keeping excess lights off. Getting to choose the game for a family game night is a good choice.

3. Explore the chemistry of homemade cleaning products.

Kids love seeing the reaction caused by mixing baking soda and vinegar. That they also make an effective cleanser or drain cleaner is quite a bonus.

4. Garden.

Do you have kids that love to play around, especially in the garden? Even if all you have is a kitchen shelf or apartment balcony you can grow herbs. Here are 5 ways you can make going green fun for your family.

1. Play as a family, outdoors, no power toys.

When outdoors, play tag, kick or throw a ball around. Oh, and make sure you turn off all the lights, television, computers, etc. before you head out.

2. Reward the kids for turning excess lights off.

Make it a competition. Just keep a sense of fun about it and have a little reward for whoever does the best at keeping excess lights off. Getting to choose the game for a family game night is a good choice.

3. Do crafts from things you would otherwise throw away.

waste anything! Cut pictures out from magazines, grocery store ads and junk mail. Make a bug from an empty egg carton. Make a blanket from old favorite clothes. Get creative.

4. Buy organic makeup, personal care and beauty supplies.

While many of these tips are easiest to do with small children, this one will appeal to a wider range of ages. The scents of many products can be a challenge depending on your kids, but there are plenty of options to fit just about any image yours are comfortable with.

5. Talk to the whole family about other things you can do.

Every family works differently. Try and get yours involved in living in a more environmentally conscious way in your own way. The harder you want to push on this front the more challenging it can be, but keeping the lines of communication open makes it much easier on everyone.
