It’s still: teach your children that sustainability is a valueinvolving them directly with small ‘tasks’, such as waste separation or the used games market; do more sporting activity and experience sport as a moment of inclusion and aggregation, actively participating in local initiatives; in home, use water flow reducers, do not leave electrical and electronic devices on stand-by, choose low consumption appliances; choose to go on foot, by public transport or by bicycle for traveling around the city and preferring the train for longer journeys; learn about and explore issues related to sustainability also visiting museums, exhibitions, libraries and cultural spaces.
