Hi there, I’m Al, and along with my wife Katrina, I want to welcome you to The Eco Friendly Life, a place where we cherish the principles of sustainable living. It’s not just a brand; it’s a reflection of our enthusiasm to nurture a sustainable future for us all. Over the past decade and a half, our eyes have opened to the importance of eco-friendly living. Not only has it become a personal passion, but it’s also a legacy we want to leave for our two children.
Over the years Katrina and I have observed that the shift towards sustainability has been a gradual, but profound journey. It’s taught us that our choices today shape the world that future generations will inherit. That’s why every aspect of The Eco Friendly Life is designed to encourage this ethos. From the articles we write to the products we recommend, you’re going to find out about living in a way that respects and preserves the earth.
This commitment extends beyond our professional lives; it’s deeply ingrained in our role as parents. We homeschool our oldest child, and together with his little brother, they’re embarking on a path of eco-consciousness. Their curiosity and enthusiasm for everything from renewable energy to recycling are at the heart of The Eco Friendly Life’s philosophy.
Our hope is that through The Eco Friendly Life we’re here to help you navigate the often complex world of sustainability, whether you’re a fellow parent, a student, or just someone looking to make a difference. So join us, and let’s journey together towards a healthier world for generations to come. Next up, we’re going to share how taking education into our own hands at home has been a foundation for growing a green family.
Educating at Home, Growing a Green Family
You’re going to find out about a side of The Eco Friendly Life that’s close to our hearts: our family’s daily life intertwined with sustainable practices. Our son’s homeschooling journey is unique because it’s steeped in eco-consciousness. That means our lessons often focus on how our actions can positively or negatively impact the planet, and you bet that includes plenty of hands-on learning!
It isn’t just about teaching our kids; it’s also about learning and growing together. Both our boys are developing an interest in everything sustainable, from eco-friendly home products to the ins and outs of recycling. We’ve made small but significant steps in our everyday lives, like choosing renewable energy sources when possible, and discussing the value of conservation and biodiversity at the dinner table.
These family-oriented activities aren’t just educational; they’re heaps of fun. We build birdhouses, create vegetable gardens, and explore nature trails, all while talking about the ecosystems around us. And when it’s time for a break, we might choose to make sustainable crafts or play games that have an eco theme. This approach has planted ideas in their young minds, and we’re proud to see them taking genuine interest in protecting our environment.
Our kids’ budding passion for sustainability continually shapes The Eco Friendly Life’s perspectives and projects. They remind us of the curiosity and eagerness we all should bring to this cause. Plus, their ideas often lead to discussions on what The Eco Friendly Life can do next, pushing us further in our commitment to creating a greener world.
