2- Grow your own food

Growing your own food is a great way to reduce your impact on the environment. You can grow food in your backyard, on your balcony, or even in your kitchen window.  Learn the latest trends in growing a lush garden from our friends at Burpee Home Gardens. We personally love the tomatoes!

3- Create a terrarium

A terrarium is a miniature ecosystem that can be created in a glass jar or container. Terrariums are a great way to learn about plants and the environment, and they can also be beautiful additions to your home.

4- Make a compost bin

Composting is a natural way to recycle food scraps and yard waste. Compost can be used to fertilize plants, which helps to reduce the need for chemical fertilizers.

5- Plant a tree

Trees are essential for our planet. They provide us with oxygen, clean the air, and help to regulate the climate. Planting a tree is a great way to give back to the Earth.
