ECOLOGICAL EDUCATION

A religious sister shared a reflection on how children can learn ecological ethics through small, daily habits rather than textbook lessons.

The author noted that children practiced environmental care by collecting fallen yellow leaves to use as fertilizer for the ground. She suggested that caring for the environment begins with simple acts, such as disposing of trash properly, protecting young branches, or watering plants.

The reflection also connects the care of physical surroundings to character formation. The author stated that maintaining a clean garden teaches children orderliness, while tending to furniture and shaded areas helps them learn to cherish possessions and experience peace.
