Studies show a grass lawn is water intensive and on average it require about 30 percent of a household’s water consumption. I will do one or more of the following actions in my yard or community to conserve water and improve habitat: plant indigenous plants, landscape with water-efficient plants, add mulching, replace a lawn, and/or use eco-friendly fertilizers.

    I volunteered at the Food Bank. Our team boxed 116,500 pounds of produce. With each box weighing about 25lbs. It felt good to make a difference.
