How Children Can Protect the Environment

As a mother and the author of the comic book series Spartan and the Green Egg, Nabila Khashoggi wrote her stories to introduce children to different cultures. Nabila Khashoggi also uses the series to introduce children about the importance of protecting the environment.


Protecting the earth’s various environments is not a job just for adults. There are a number of ways kids can take part in looking after the planet. Recycling is something that all individuals can do, like all good habits, the practice of recycling should be introduced at a young age. Explaining the difference between what happens at a recycling plant compared to a dumping site is very helpful for kids understanding their part in the processes.


An simple practice that children can take part in is using both sides of a page. Whether they are printing images or writing an essay for class, the abundance of personal printers is leading to more and more wasted paper. Children can learn how to maximize the resources they are provided, including paper. Children are using more electronics than ever. Conveying the importance of turning off and unplugging devices that are not in use not helps the environment and lowers energy bills, it might event help prevent kids from suffering from digital overload!
