Family Life

Green Living

Environmentally and eco-friendly living In NYC with kids is not easy. We all consume far too much plastic, and it’s hard to know how much the city recycles. We should all try to reduce, reuse and recycle, and encourage our children to do the same.

We share tips on how to cut down on single-use plastics, avoid food waste, and reduce our family’s carbon footprint. We will share on upcoming climate marches and protests. These events happen in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and The Bronx and children of all ages can get involved!

From making your family’s green cleaning products, to passing along used strollers and making donations of old baby stuff, we can all be better at living green in New York. Environmentally And Eco-Friendly Living In NYC can be difficult, but we are all trying to do our best.
