Launching on Earth Day (22 April), Hove-based social enterprise It’s Our Planet Too has created a new eco subscription box for children. The aim is to connect children with the planet and help empower parents to start conversations with their children about the environment. The tool kits are also 100% sustainable and plastic-free and provide a fun, eco-led gift that both educates and gives back.
Each themed tool kit will deliver fun activities, news and information to encourage children to think about how what we do affects our environment; from tiny seedlings to huge trees and the animals that rely on them.
Inside the launch tool kit (themed ‘Our World Is Changing’), there are over four hours of activities. Plus, a recipe, an eco heroes manifesto poster, a reward chart, and much more. Each tool kit also comes with a crib sheet to help parents who don’t feel equipped to speak to their children about environmental concerns; empowering them to start those conversations and make it easier to include their children on the journey to greener living.
The tool kits are 100% sustainable and plastic-free and printed locally.
Many of the tasks utilise materials already found in the home or even in the recycling box. The contents also support the national curriculum and have been developed in consultation with a primary headteacher.
At It’s Our Planet Too, the vision is for every child to believe they have the power to protect our planet. With the need to tackle climate change, improve climate literacy, and weave sustainable practices into all we do, there has never been a more crucial time to inspire and educate children about environmental issues.
As a social venture, It’s Our Planet Too also gives back. It does this by educating both children and their families to make positive changes towards a greener future and by supporting charities. It’s Our Planet Too, therefore, pledges to give a minimum of 50% of its profits to good causes.
The tool kits will be available to purchase online from mid-April, either individually or via discounted subscriptions for 3, 6 and 12 months. For further information, please click here.
