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.

Being eco friendly or living in an environmentally friendly way can be confusing with mixed messages coming from different sources. While being green is all about thinking and assessing how individually we effect the environment, what often works for one person doesnt necessarily work, or can be practical, to another. However, there are a few things that many people agree can go a long way to helping the environment and most people can fit into their lives.

Reducing, Reusing and Recycling are perhaps the most important things that we can do that directly help the environment. When you consider how much waste each of us throw away each year it soon becomes clear that reducing that amount will make an individual difference. Buy organic products where no harmful chemicals/pesticides have been used. While it may be a bit more expensive, the cost pays off to help prevent air, water and soil pollution for the benefit of generations to come. Its not just about organic food either, organic clothing and other organic products need to be considere. Try and use natural alternatives. Less is more. Simple things that each of us can do to improve the condition of the environment and reduce the amounts of wasted energy and products.
