Helping Youth to Go Green

 

Many of us have heard the phrases “go green,” “eco-friendly,” and “sustainable lifestyle” tossed around.  But what do these phrases mean and how do they affect us, the planet, and other living organisms?

When we are living sustainably we are living in harmony with our natural environment and all living creatures. This is a big goal!! A good place to start with sustainable living is to look at a single day. How do you get around? How many items do you use? What food do you eat?

Ohio State University Extension Sustainability team created a 4H Project Idea Starter to help youth think about the choices they make daily.  The idea starter is found here and can be selected as a self-determined project:  https://ohio4h.org/sites/ohio4...Sustainable-Life.pdf

The idea starter is full of ideas and projects youth can participate in to make a difference in our planet and lead to a more sustainable life.
