Umweltschutz / Umweltbewusstsein fängt schon bei den Kleinen an


Explanation:
Since this is a commercial text, I would not stick to the literal translation, but rather grasp the meaning. In terms of context, it is about making people aware that they can start doing something for the environment at an early age. Therefore localising rather than translating.
