Cooking: October 2007 Archives

I recently found out about Blog Action Day, so I thought I'd join in the fun. :)

What can you do to help the environment? Even if you don't have the resources for large projects, there are small things that anyone can do to help.

If you have a garden, or even just a lawn, switch to organic fertilizers and pesticides. Start a compost bin. Leave the grass clippings on the yard. If you have a small yard (1/4 acre or smaller), consider switching to an electric (corded or cordless) mower or a manual reel mower.

Even if you don't have a yard, you can support farmers that use organic methods (no synthetic chemicals) when you buy organic food at the supermarket. Buy locally produced food when possible to reduce the environmental impact of transporting food.

Even small changes can make a difference.
