Green cooking with kids: teaching eco-friendly skills in the kitchen

November 22, 2010

Most kids I’ve known adore whipping up meals, snacks or baked goods in the kitchen. Translation – the kitchen is one of the best place to introduce eco-friendly skills to your kiddos because they’re already hanging around with interest.
