Storybooks Teach Kids to Save the Earth

Looking for a fun way to teach your kids about saving the earth? Earthwise Kids has three eco-friendly storybooks to do just that. It’s never too early to encourage your child to be an eco advocate so put these stories into heavy bedtime rotation. In Protect the Ocean, Tippy the turtle offers eco-friendly advice explaining why keeping the beach clean is so important for preserving his home.

What’s great about this series, versus any old other children’s book with a green message, is that they’re made in a green way, too. Traditional books, which by nature, aren’t very eco-friendly considering the trees needed to manufacture them. But these are made using recycled paper and soy-based inks, and since they’re paperbacks the carbon cost of shipping is less because they weigh less. Each book is also packaged in a biodegradable, reusable jute bag.

After you teach your little green one to protect the oceans, check out the other books in the series. Protect the Wild features a polar bear who advocates energy conservation as a way to stop global warming and save the animals. And Protect the Land follows a red bird who loves saving trees and land.
