Here are Great Organizations Doing Great Things.
Do you feel disheartened by biodiversity loss caused by diminishing habitat? Would you believe that you could create new habitat right in your own backyard, or in the areas surrounding your school, church or office building?
Homegrown National Park
“Chances are you never thought of your garden--indeed, all of your property--as a wildlife preserve that presents the last chance we have for sustaining plants and animals that were once common throughout the U.S. But that is exactly the role our suburban landscapes are playing.”
– Douglas Tallamy, entomologist at the University of Delaware

Start a Climate Victory Garden and Cool the Planet
The victory garden is back because we are mobilizing against the threat of global warming. Consider the carbon footprint of the can of tomatoes stored in your cupboard. Those tomatoes may have been grown on the West Coast, shipped to the Midwest for processing, and further journeyed to East Coast grocery stores. Compare that o the energy expended by you by simply walking out into your garden and bringing them back into the house.
Backyard vegetable gardens grown sustainably not only store carbon, but provide you with exercise, fresh air and nutritious, delicious food.
