Fortunately nowadays most children are taught at school how to recycle and how to be more “green”. At home we have recycle bins on the backyard where we, everyday, separate our garbage according to the material it is made of.

It’s wonderful to see that each day new recycle products show up in the market, unfortunately sometimes they are a lot expensive than regular ones so people tend to buy the cheaper one although they are not helping the green movement. In September, when I have to buy my son’s school material I will pay more attention to the products I’ll be buying, I’ll try to buy recycle ones and let my son know that.

Usually I have to repeatedly buy material throughout the year because he loses the pen, pencil, eraser, etc. , so this year I intend to buy personalized material. There are companies specialized on this type of work so he will have personalized pens, pencils, backpack, etc.. I hope, even he loses the material, he will be able to find it more easily if his name is on it.
