HOW CAN youths and adults BE ENCOURAGED TO TAKE CARE OF THE ENVIRONMENT? Ecological books and toys Read them some books or show them eco-friendly toys that teach them about the importance of the environment and how to take care of it. Exploring the outdoors Youths and adults will protect the things that they love. They need to explore nature in person, whether it’s a nearby park, a botanical garden, or a walk in the woods. Let them experience the beauty and diversity of nature for themselves. Sustainable activities Participate in sustainable activities with the youths and adults, such as recycling, gardening, and garbage collection. Show them how their actions can make a positive contribution to the environment.
