Plant a Tree

• Planting a tree with your elders is exciting
  and a good learning experience. They will share
  their valuable knowledge of gardening with you.
  You can also make the most of your gardens by
  growing herbs and spices.

Attend Events on Eco Issues

• Take them to the WED events being organized in
  your neighborhood. You can attend arts and crafts
  exhibitions, film festival focused on eco issues,
  and eco-themed competitions.

Encourage Them to Use Public Transportation 

• Using public transportation has many
  environmental benefits. It helps you to conserve
  energy and reduce air pollution. Riding public
  transportation makes a big difference in your air
  quality and use of natural resources. This is why
  you should encourage your able bodied elderly to
  use public transportation and share riding
  instead of using a car. 

7
Use Compact Fluorescent Light

• Tell your elders why they should have a
  fluorescent light in their home. Although these
  lights are expensive, they last much longer and
  can save you big on electricity bills, thereby
  worth your investment. 

8
 Tell Them to Turn off Any Unused Devices

• Do your elders tend to forget to switch off the
  TV or lights when they are not in use? Turning
  off the unused devices not only reduce your
  electricity bill but also save energy
  consumption.

Take Care of Old Electronics

• E-waste is one of the biggest environmental
  concerns today and leads to health hazards and
  environmental pollution. Try to upgrade your
  electrical equipment only when needed. Take any
  unused electronics to an e-waste center for
  disposal.

10
In Nutshell

• These are just a few ways you can celebrate
  World Environmental Day with your grandparents.
  While it helps the environment it also gives your
  elders a chance to spend good quality time with
  you.
