It’s important that you teach your children to be Green Chip Investors at an early age. The more knowlege they gain, the better off they will be in the future. 
Who are Green Chip Investors?“The term green chip investors has been in the news and financial pages lately, but who are these investors? Green chip stocks are stocks that are in businesses which benefit from the renewable energy market and technology. Green chip stocks are stocks for companies that facilitate alternative renewable energy technologies. This can include geothermal energy, wind energy, solar energy,biomass energy, electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles that plug in and use electricity as well as another energy source, clean water, waste to energy conversion, smart grid technology, organic foods, biofuels, smart grid technology, and carbon testing, as well as many others.

Renewable Energy for Kids: Teaching Children About Renewable EnergyMany parents want to teach their children about renewable energy and energy efficiency early in life because once they get in the habit of it, it will be a habit they continue to follow for the rest of their life. But where should you start when teaching renewable energy for kids?
A good start would be defining exactly what renewable energy is. You can suggest they make a list of non-renewable and renewable power sources and build from there. Some examples would be:
Non-Renewable: Oil/Gas, Natural Gas, Coal, Nuclear
Renewable: Solar, Wind, Geothermal, Hydro/Water
