recycling

So what in the world is this kiddy craft doing here?
My daughter Aliyah made this "sandwich bag box disguised as a fun box" thing a few days ago and I have forgotten all about it until she came up to me a few minutes ago asking if I think she can do something with the empty box in her hand. That's when I noticed the pattern! I then went to her room and found all sorts of stuff like bookmarks and cards made from scraps she finds in the house! Okay, so we recycle, we use cloth napkins, buy in bulk, have Laptop lunchboxes, and don't like disposable containers... but this? Hmmm, is my kid turning into a recycling princess?
The other day, she told me she wants to own a vegan restaurant or store, or design a vegan product- so people can have better and healthier choices. And she's not even a real vegan!
Today, we pick up a food item at a discount store and the first thing she ask me when I handed it to her to put in our cart was: "Hmm, did you check the..." of which I did not let her finish and just said, "yes dear, I checked the label!"
"Okay, mom. I just want to make sure there's no bug extract in it. " (chuckle)
What have I done???

That's adorable! Very lovely craft work by your daughter too! They pick up on SO much of what we are doing and saying... we have a whole new generation of little activists I think! :)

Children learn quickly. My daugher will be three in May and is fairly knowledgeable about health and nutrition. I am big on recycling also.
