Be very careful about what you put on your lawn & driveway.
"Concentrated development in urbanized areas substantially increases impervious surfaces, such as streets, driveways and parking lots. These surfaces are the primary collector of pollutants until a rain washes them into nearby storm drains. Common pollutants include pesticides, fertilizers, oils, salt, litter, and sediment. Storm drains do not run to treatment plants. They empty directly into waterways. When left uncontrolled, these discharges can result in fish kills, destruction of wildlife habitats, and contamination of drinking water and recreational waterways. Sediment from yard debris and construction sites can cause stream bank erosion, vegetation destruction, and flooding. It is therefore extremely important to recognize that individual actions can multiply the effect on water quality."
Individual actions= that means us!

Every relocation project starts with a trip to the liquor store for FREE boxes. These boxes are perfect for books and other heavy materials. Always reinforce them first.
What a great idea! It's a laundry detergent refilling station at Whole Foods. No more heavy plastic containers in our land fills.
In 1988, Sun & Earth began its quest for a better way to clean. We wanted to rid toxic chemicals with harsh smells and mysterious names from our living rooms, kitchens and baths! We set out to prove that cleaning products made from harmless ingredients could perform as well as the leading brand.

My neighbor used paper bags for her organic lawn debris instead of plastic bags. So happy to see this!
