Happy Earth Day! I've really enjoyed participating in the Ecochallege! Here are a few of the actions I've taken this month to help make a positive impact for the planet:
TEND A GARDEN (Climate Resilience) - I will tend to a garden, or prepare for one, each day using sustainable gardening practices.
Getting some plants started under a makeshift greenhouse in my garden.
PLANT TREES (Climate Resilience) - I will plant 5 tree(s) in my community, public parks, or backyard.
This is the start of my tree planting...the holes take a lot longer to dig than I expected! 2 arborvitae trees planted, 12 more to go! :)
