If you have to drive, carpool and help reduce traffic and air pollution. Fall is a great time to start backyard composting. Check with your town or local hardware store or garden center for help getting started. Backyard composting is a great way to recycle organic materials such as food scraps, leaves and yard clippings, and you can compost those leftover pumpkins after Halloween. A backyard bin is a lot more convenient than bagging leaves for pickups.
Individual actions can make a huge difference in our future.
