There are simple things you can do this fall and winter to take care of your garden and yard in a responsible and eco-friendly way. These easy tips for going green, will allow you to follow organic and sustainable gardening practices that are beneficial for your garden, the critters, your health, the planet and your pocket book! One of the benefits of an organic, sustainable garden is the connection to the land, to the living and growing organisms, and to a more natural existence. It is working with Nature, not against it. This is eco friendly living and eco friendly gardening! You create an ecological community in your backyard.
Forget about the typical fall clean up. There are plenty of environmentally friendly ways to deal with the garden and yard waste that comes from fall cleanup. However, if you want to protect the environment, resist the temptation to throw your leaves and garden waste into plastic bags and send them to the dump. Leaves and garden waste are biodegradable and you can easily recycle them back into your garden soil.
The changing colors of the autumn leaves are beautiful – until theyre no longer on the trees and instead are covering your yard. Here are a couple of ways to be green with the fall colors. Skip the leaf blower and use a rake. While its a little more labor intensive, raking leaves is better for the environment than the leaf blower. Leaf blowers create a lot of noise pollution, and — if theyre diesel powered — create a fair amount of air pollution as well (unless youre running on bio-diesel). Leave your fallen leaves in your garden beds. They will provide protection and feeding to the soil and the microbes. Remove the excess leaves on your grass and either place in your garden beds so you have at least a one feet deep layer, or put them in your compost.

We live in a victorian house and light our fire alot over christmas. We use a mixture of smokeless coal as well as wood collected over the year – whats the best thing to do with this?
Note i know that wood ash is fine but this is mostly coal/charcoal.
if you have an area of the garden you wish to make into a path then use the ash etc as a base a little like using hardcore..alternatively makes a great weed suppressant on slabbed paths etc..just sprinkle into gaps and cracks and brush off the surplus..or on whole areas if you have one that needs treating great as a soil conditioner too
You know those little tests you can take online, where they say "To have everyone on earth live like you, we would need 3 planets", or something to that effect. Well, I’m just curious, how exactly does it suggest we should live? Given that we all have just 1 planet, what are the recommended living conditions of everyone on earth, supposing everyone had resources allocated evenly.
Try to buy stuff made locally. Our footprints in the US are so huge because we use stuff made from all over, shipped all over. The shipping burns fossil fuels. The energy it takes to make a product and get it to you is called "embodied energy."
Make your house more energy efficient to reduce the amount of energy you use directly.
Try to walk or bike to local places instead of driving the few blocks.
Try growing a few vegetables. Doesn’t have to be fancy, try container plants.
The one that gets me is long hot showers and airplane trips. If I can get solar power, I can solve my wasteful showers. I should try to travel to local vacation spots by train.

This book is very easy to read with wonderful and useful information. If you want to start thinking "green" then this book is a great start.
The book spans a wide range of topics - including beauty products, cleaning products, linens and mattresses, and home improvement. If you are going to make any large-scale eco-friendly investments (on-demand water heater, organic mattress, hybrid car, solar panels) youre going to need to do much more research than what is in this book. If youre just looking for a primer covering a lot of topics and dont mind it when it states the obvious (bring your own bags to the store, recycle your trash) or hawks products, then you might find this book useful.
