Many parents want to teach their children about renewable energy and energy efficiency in early life, because once you get in the habit of it, a habit that will continue to follow for the rest of his life. But where should you start teaching renewable energy for kids? A good start would be to define exactly what is renewable energy. You can suggest to make a list of non-renewable energy sources and renewable, and build from there. Some examples might be: non-renewable: oil / gas, natural gas, coal, nuclear and renewables: solar, wind, geothermal, hydro / water Explain how renewable energy comes from natural forces. It's different from fossil fuels, as it has no greenhouse gases and other pollutants. In addition, you can explain how the mass production of electricity from renewable energy sources has only recently become more popular. Some of the reasons why it is becoming more popular include: climate change and pollution caused by fossil fuels are being used and becoming more expensive. A good idea is to teach children about energy efficiency. Make a list of all devices that use power for a day like TV, computer, lights, etc, and for how long, and if possible the power of each appliance. If you can not get the power, you can find the average power of each device for demonstration purposes. Make a rough calcuation to show how much they are using in one day. Now have them do an "energy saving" the day that you turn off devices when you're not using, turn off lights when not in a room, turn down the heat / AC a couple degrees, etc. Now, recalculate the daily power and show the amount of energy saved with a few simple changes. Another great idea is to show how to install a solar panel or windmill can generate electricy to home. It's not as expensive as you might think. You do not need an expensive trading system. You can build your own for $ 100-200 dollars and their children, it may even help if they are old enough. The less you take the energy of course, the better. These lessons stick with them (especially a very impressionable age) and to use these practices to the rest of his life. Teach renewable energies for children, the sooner the better!
