Picking up trash anywhere and depositing it in a receptacle to begin with,,,even at home.
Educate them,,,as children,,, on harmful effects of any kind of polution,,, start slowly and with examples... IE: Dishes not washed in a timely fashion. A toilet left unflushed. Food left,,or thrown on a floor. Even cleaning a room, just to find a floor... or not lose that favorite toy.
Children are really so very wise,,,as long as they're allowed to be.
a VERY graphic demonstration might be to take things like their juice containers, soda bottles, anything they might discard,,,or disregard,,, and allow an area where YOU as the parent, can let those items accumulate. Make it a mutual project, and keep it short term,,,IE: a week. At the end of the week, show them, the result, allow them to absorb what is evident, and then show them the difference,,,after a cleanup,,, of what the area is like if MAINTAINED regularly.

I loved learning about squirrels when i was little, and about badgers.
Further from home the best and most exciting thing in nature is the Amazon Rain Forest. These rainforests are truly the jewels of the earth. And they r being chopped. When I was young I sponsored an acre of rainforrest through Friends of the Earth.

JOIN friend s of the earth with a family membership they will have a newsletter full of ideas.
Or closer to home JOIN the Woodland Trust.

I asked my Brownie Troop (1st & 2nd graders) to think of a way to say thank you to our school for letting us meet there. On there own the girls decided to pick up litter. I gave each girl vinyl gloves and a garbadge bag. We picked up 7 bags of trash. The girls loved it.
But ask your kids what they want to do to help the Earth. They might have ideas of their own.

Get them planting and looking after their own vege garden. Then you can teach them about rain fall, global warming, minerals etc. And they will have something to show for their efforts.

have them plant a tree, or just let them have a small flower bed to take care of. Teach them about recycling, have them start a recycling center in your neighborhood..
