Childhood is a crucial stage in a person’s life, not only for physical and emotional development but also for the formation of values and habits that will last a lifetime. In a world facing unprecedented environmental challenges, it is essential that today’s children become agents of change, promoting the protection and responsible use of resources.

Instilling values such as respect, responsibility, solidarity, and participation in children, as well as raising their awareness about caring for the planet, is of utmost importance. Environmental education in schools, care centers, and at home can help young ones understand the significance of taking care of our environment. Activities such as planting trees, recycling, and learning about biodiversity are excellent ways to engage children in sustainability.

Teaching sustainable habits to children benefits not only the environment but also promotes a healthy lifestyle. Educating children about reducing plastic consumption, the importance of saving water and energy, and choosing local and organic products can make a significant impact. Caring for the planet is everyone’s responsibility, which is why Roblealto Association’s programs promote good practices such as tree planting, waste separation, creating eco-bricks, producing organic compost, and self-sustaining garden projects.

However, many challenges still lie ahead in environmental sustainability. It is crucial to open more participation spaces for children in initiatives that allow them to get involved in community projects or contribute to the development of environmental policies. These steps are essential for moving toward a more sustainable future.
