If you have a yard and/or garden, there are plenty of ways that you can reduce waste and pollution, and re-use stuff that you may have thought was just garbage. There are 5 eco-friendly choices you can make in this category.

Use only organic fertilizers

Artificial fertlizers contain many chemicals that aren't good for you OR the environment, and they can contribute to the pollution of the water table. You'll see (and taste!) the difference in your fruits and veggies!

You can also try this: for companies  But wait, there's more!

Recycle your yard debris

But wait, there's more!

Recycle everything you can!

You benefit either directly or when local taxes are kept lower by reduced disposal costs.

You can also try this: at home, at work, at school, for companies, for teachers, for kids and for parents

Plant a tree or small garden

Trees and gardens make your yard beautiful, but they also help clean the air and reduce greenhouse gasses.

Insulation that is beautiful and cost-effective

Plant short, dense shrubs close to your home's foundation to help insulate your home against cold, and use a light-colored roof to reduce heat absorption. You'll be saving an estimated 13 lbs of CO2 per tree!
