Flashy promises to... Don't Break The Eco Code!

"What is an Eco Code?
Basically your Eco Code will be the set of ecologically sound ‘rules and regulations’ you and your family chose to live by in the interests of the planet!

Saving the planet is a serious business - however you need to make sure your code is achievable and ‘do-able’ by your family - for instance, spurning car travel, plane journeys and any form of fast food is probably not going to be completely realistic - but walking whenever we can, choosing eco friendly holidays and cutting down on food packaging is something we can all do!

How Do I Convince the Family?
Like most things in life, stuff that’s fun, interesting, stimulating and holds our attention is going to be much easier to take on as a ‘way of life’ than something that we see as a chore! Make your code fun and you’re kids will follow it!

How Do I Make My Code?
Your code doesn’t have to be a tangible object - it could just be a verbal agreement between you and your family, however, a poster or print out will be much more appealing to children, and they can then play a part in its design as well as its implementation!

What Should I Include in My Code?
That’s up to you! It could be as simple as drawing up a ‘recycle and re-use’ poster to display above your waste bins, so your family know what disposal points are for items to be composted, what’s for stuff to be recycled etc. Or it could be as complex as an A-Z list for every aspect of your life!"
