0 commentsApril 22 is Earth Day. While you may never have given this holiday much thought in the past, if you are a part of a divorced family this holiday can be the perfect opportunity to start a new tradition. For example, you can plant trees together, clean up a stretch of highway, start a recycling program or work together to reduce your energy consumption.
Earlier this year a news article was released on the environmental impact of divorce. The problem that divorce creates is diving one household into two households. After a divorce a family unit consumes twice the resources that they did when they were together because now there are two homes to heat, light and operate.
In an attempt to reduce the impact that your divorce has on the environment and on your family unit, Earth Day celebrations can be a great option. If you don’t know what you can do with your kids to celebrate Earth Day, then look for a local celebration. These community celebrations are not only fun for the family, but they also provide you with a lot of great information and strategies that you can use in your life.
Children after divorce need new traditions and extra quality time with each of their parents. One way to do this is to celebrate Earth Day and work together as a family to reduce their eco-thumbprint. Managing children and divorce isn’t easy. Fortunately, you can get help and tips by reading the home page of Children and Divorce blog.
