However, wait! On what stake are we planning to do all this? Is global warming, continuous alarms belled by the natural resources, the UV rays inclining more and more not shaking us from within? If it is then why not inculcate a few habits in our infant and tiny – tot so that he makes the future world a better place to live in, Eco parenting is the definition of the same.

Eco Parenting simply means to teach and inherit basic habits in your child from the very beginning so that later it is no more a task or responsibility rather a habit and way of living.

• Encourage the little one to reuse as well as recycle each and every thing that they can. Do not inculcate in them the pride of selfishness, and tell them that a small thing has some value and that to use it is hooks and crooks is what life is all about. This will sure excite them and make them a better person when they grow up altogether.
• Boast and shout in home” do not waste ”. Neither you should do this practice, nor it should be reaped in the kid. Food, drinkables, stationary products, papers and anything for that matter should not be wasted and shall be used until the time it works. The food in the plate should be finished and the left – over food should be used the next day or given to domestic help, pets but not wasted. They are the important assets of the globe and wasting them could lead our future in some serious issues.
• You surely have many friends and cousins, if yes! Increase the practice of swooping a lot more from now on.

The natural resources should be used optimistically and he or she should know this from the time they have got the brains to understand.
• You must encourage the new found alternative of saving fuel and that is – car – pooling. Yes, car – pooling or sharing the same vehicle if you are going to a particular place is a habit that should definitely be encouraged. If friends and same age group children live nearby in the vicinity then they must use same vehicles to go for coaching, hobby classes, schools and more.
• Say no to plastic bag. Do not just say it this time, do it. When your child looks up to you carrying your own bag while shopping and other stuff then it is he or she who will also learn from you and would never take up the opportunity to get the products in a polythene given by the shopkeepers. Teach them it is harmful for the place where we live – earth. Ex
