Run an Eco Lemonade Stand

Wanna help your kids corner the neighborhood market on lemonade?

Child Seats for Bikes

Kids putting the kibosh on your bike habits?

Just be up-front and try hitching a child seat on your bike to cart kids along for car-free rides. There are options that make it easy and safe to cruise together (and run an errand or two at the same time), while burning the ultimate renewable energy - yours. Word.

Raising Backyard Hens

Need another reason to get the kids outside?

Out the door they go: raise egg-laying chickens in your own backyard. Yep, right outside your urban or suburban home (check with your town ordinances), you can teach kids to care for a small flock, plus you'll have fresh organic eggs every morning.
Eyebrow: 
Visiting Animal Sanctuaries

Wishing for a Utopian playground?

Beasts the sandbox: Visit an animal sanctuary with your kiddos and help care for critters rescued from abuse and neglect. The animals will enjoy the company, farm staff'll appreciate the support, and your brood'll have a total(itarian) blast.
