Eco-Friendly Seed Rakhis To Help Plant Trees

This can be your first step towards teaching your child about saving the environment – one rakhi at a time.

Children learn best from imitation. Also, when they are young we can easily mould them and change their habits. So if you want your child to make green choices, it is imperative that you practice rather than preach.

Children understand and assimilate more when they actually “do” something. Anything presented as ‘fun’ will always be exciting. So, how about this Rakshabandhan, you take the first step and for a change choose an eco-friendly “seed-embedded rakhi” instead.

This small and nondescript gesture will not only build your child’s awareness about the environment but also go miles in teaching them about complicated concepts like landfills and sustainable living in a much simpler way.
