One of the aspects I’ve enjoyed about homeschooling is that I can include a new activity, or course of study, at anytime throughout the school year. As I began learning more about green living, I thought it would be a great subject for my children and me to study together. This past school year, I introduced green and natural living lessons into our school schedule. Each week, we took on a green project or participated in an activity that promoted environmental appreciation and preservation. Some of our projects included visiting farms and orchards (we’ve been to a lot of these), collecting about $5 at the recycling center, and planting our first fruit tree.
