In today’s divisive and often frightening political climate, many parents hope to raise a younger generation that will lead the world with more care and compassion. In honor of Earth Day on Sunday, we asked parents and conservationists for their advice on raising kids who care about the planet. Get Your Kids Outside “It helps to encourage kids to develop a true feeling for and connection with nature,” said O’Mara. Courtesy of EarthEcho International Philippe Cousteau wants to encourage kids to become stewards of the environment. The National Wildlife Federation is one organization working to create natural spaces and gardens on school grounds, encouraging child care workers to offer more outdoor time and challenging schools to become greener.
