The best way to educate children about the environment is to show them how to undertake eco-friendly practices, or to have them come up with their own strategies. This is what the eco-schools program has designed, and schools throughout Australia have taken part in the environmentally friendly award program.
The school run has become a contentious issue among parents and environmental activists. There are a number of concerns over localised pollution and overall climate change, and as a parent you are responsible for how your child gets to school.
