How Can We Create a Bright Future for Our Children?

Since becoming a parent I have often thought about baby girl’s future. How can we create a Bright Future for our children? We have been set a challenge by Unilever called #brightFuture to discover little things as a family we can do to change the future for the better.

Unilever products - Helping create a bright Future for our children

At the heart of the Unilever brightFuture initiative is the goal to unite communities and encourage small changes in everyday life that have a positive impact on the world.

Here are some of our little things we have changed to help make our world a better place and to shape a bright future:

  • Turning the tap off when brushing teeth
  • Recycling
  • Re-using boxes and bottles/jars
  • Composting fruit and veg peelings
  • Turning the TV off and not leaving it on standby
  • Remembering to turn off lights when leaving a room
  • Meal Planning, so we don’t buy food to waste.
  • Only use reusable bags
