How to Save the Environment at Home
In The Garden
1. Plant native species. They need less watering, are hardier (hence, less products
needed to protect them) and they attract the local wildlife.
2. Plant trees. Trees absorb carbon dioxide and provide shade. They provide homes for
wildlife and some trees can provide you with a bountiful harvest. What more incentive do
you need?!
3. Reduce the lawn. Either reduce your lawn size or remove it altogether. Lawns are costly
to maintain, the chemicals used on lawns are dangerous to our health and to that of the
surrounding wildlife and lawnmowers emit high levels of pollution. Replace lawns with
shrubs, ornamental garden structures, pavers for entertainment areas, native grasses and
ground creepers etc. In addition, what's better than being able to step outside and pick a

lawn space into a vegetable garden. Consider using drip-irrigation systems or constructing
or purchasing a rain barrel (it saves you having to pay to pump water back into the ground).
4. Compost. Compost the kitchen scraps and create beautiful garden matter to encourage
better plant growth. Make sure the heap is warm and well-turned. Read a few books about
composting. It's rare to find someone highly skilled in the area! Remember, soil is a living
thing, it should not be powdery and dead. Life comes from the soil, and therefore the soil
should be kept alive. Avoid highly invasive tilling if at all possible, but be sure to keep the soil
aerated.
1. Use recycled paper in your home office and printer. Double side your printing and
give scrap paper to the kids or turn it into note paper for the phone table.
2. Turn off the computer every day. Even if it feels like it is not making much of a
difference, it is. You also reduce any risks of overheating or short circuiting by turning
computers off overnight.
