   Of course we are aware that the wildlife within the environment need our help. Here are some options for beginning to help... 

  • Garden with native plants while avoiding invasive plants
  • Educate others about the importance of native plants
  • Do both of the above

Other practices that promote sustainability and improve our environment include:

  • Minimize your lawn area as much as possible to reduce gasoline and chemical use
  • Avoid chemicals, such as Roundup, that negatively affect pollinator insects
  • Allow leaves to remain on your property, they act as a natural mulch, save water and increase biomass
  • Start a compost pile for food, kitchen and garden waste
  • Conserve water in the home and install rain barrels
  • Reduce, reuse, recycle and upcycle
  • Save energy in the home
  • Sustainable shopping
  • Reduce meat consumption, increase plant-based meals
  • Walk, bike, use public transportation and drive electric vehicles
  • Plant trees
  • Support local farmers and sustainable food systems
  • Air dry your clothes
  • Go solar
  • Buy second-hand

Just think, every day we have 1,000's of opportunities to choose something that makes the world a little better. None of us get it 100% right but if we all do the best we can and just think about it, think a little more broadly, then I think we will make a tremendous difference.
