One way I involve my daughter is to have her help me mix up our own green cleaning products that we use every day. She enjoys feeling like a mad scientist, and I know she learns that simple products, such as vinegar, borax, and peroxide, are great alternatives to the harsh chemicals so many other homes use. She has also learned how terrible bleach is on our environment. I'm confident she will continue to use earth-friendly cleaners as she grows into an eco-friendly adult.
