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.

What's the most environmentally-friendly way to get rid of food scraps?
January 25, 2010 - 10:23 pm
We live in a foresty neighborhood where there are lots of critters running around: chipmunks, squirrels, mice, opossum, raccoons, foxes… My roommate says it’s a bad idea to throw food scraps out into the bushes because a) it’s bad to feed the animals and b) it’ll attract rodents to our house and make them more likely to try to get inside. I feel so wasteful just throwing scraps in the trash. And we rent so we wouldn’t be able to start a full-fledged compost pile. Ideas?
Composting is a great idea, and doable.
There are many different types of compost bins.
Even if you rent, your landlord would probably allow you the space to have a small barrell style composter.
In fact some metropolitan areas have programs where you can get composters from the city.

What can I do to be environmentally friendly?
January 20, 2010 - 8:08 am
Does anyone have tips on easy ways for a college student to help out the environment? I live with roommates who don’t recycle, plus there is no pick up service. I want to do what I can, but I don’t know how!
People have the whole "recycling" thing backwards. You should not worry about what CAN be recycled, start by looking at what you purchase as a consumer.
If consumers would stop buying excess packaging there would not be as much to recycle to begin with. Here is a great rule of thumb to follow:
1) Reduce – Do not buy individual servings of things. If you must have the individual serving then use your own re-usable container. If you are watchful and do not buy things that have excess packaging you will also see a difference in the money you save as well. Manufacturers do not give you that packaging for free, they charge for it and then YOU have to dispose of it.
2) RE-Use- If you just MUST have that Sobe drink in the cute bottle then find a way to Re-use that cute bottle when you are finished with it. Used coffee grounds are great for garden compost, Old sweaters can be unraveled and the yard used to make something new, jars and cans make cool and interesting containers for a new gift. Use your imagination and you will be surprised at what you come up with.
3) Re-cycle- If you follow the first two steps you should be left with almost nothing to re-cycle and this is how it is supposed to work.
So what do you do with the things you have left? Almost every town in america has some resource for aluminum cans… you may have to ask around or do some searching on the internet. If all else fails contact your local landfill or elementary school. They typicaly know who to contact.
I hope this helps

Are there any environmentally friendly carpets out there?
January 18, 2010 - 3:50 pm
Need to replace my stinky living room carpet, ruined by pet urine, tried cleaning it and nothing works. Has anyone tried an environmentally friendly carpet? Hardwood floor leads up to the carpet, so I can’t go with bamboo or anything because it’d look weird to have two different woods in the same area. The room is probably 8′x16′.
Gravel, soil, or natural sod would be your best bet.
