It's Contagious Anyway, Just Help it Spread



We can only be so effective in spreading the "message" of living simply and sustainably so far. Which is why we both make it a part of our mission to spread the ideas among the younger people among us. As the oldest of five children AND the oldest of 22 grandchildren, there is never a shortage of kids around. Without overstepping our bounds, we talk to kids about recycling, using less, and wasting less. [There was a rough incident with my little brother and sister, involving The Meatrix and them not eating meat or factory farmed foods for several weeks. Ooops. I also inadvertently turned a 10-year-old cousin of my babysitting charges into a vegetarian once. Again, oops.]

I am passionate about this, and even have a job that addresses this issue. It's so exciting to see kids understand the connectedness of our actions. :) Plus, I think it's an unequivocally good idea to help see the consequences of their attitudes and actions (reducing waste is ALWAYS a good thing.) Check out this article to be inspired.
