Our yards are our outdoor homes: fun, beautiful, great spaces for relaxing. But in taking care of them, we often use water inefficiently, produce a lot of yard waste, and overuse chemicals that are bad for the health of our families and the environment. The good news is, by making some simple changes in how we care for our yards we can:
- Save money on water, waste disposal and chemicals
- Save time – working with nature is easier, in the long run
- Protect our families’ health by reducing contact with chemicals
- Protect the environment
