Here are a few tips for living simply with kids:
- Homeschool — or, in my case, unschool
- Use public transportation, walk or ride bikes
- Ditch the television and play games instead
- Get a family pet from a local shelter
- Encourage your kids to journal and draw daily
- Make community service a weekly activity
- Shop locally to keep dollars in your community
- Keep a garden and raise chickens
- Visit thrift stores instead of buying new
- Sponsor a child in a third world country
- Visit the library frequently
