It saves them money, as well as saving the planet! When you bring in your own grocery bags, you use fewer resources. So, instead of using resources for plastic water bottles, we all have our own BPA-free water bottles that we can refill. Used items don’t use up resources at the same rate, and many of them work just fine.

Sure, people do actually plant some of them, but I think throwing them is much more fun. Pockets of resistance have broken out in some areas as guerilla gardeners fight back to reclaim this precious resource and cultivate it. Find a local supply of plants. Choose plants for front line battle. Plan a mission.

I admit that I’m not the greenest person out there, although I am working to improve, from participating in my utility’s efforts to increase power from renewable resources to looking for local produce and food sources whenever possible. Planting, weeding, and harvesting all require a certain level of physical effort.

Latter I let my boys do that as well (with store bought cream as Grandma had died by then). There are also cattails, which I personally have never used, but understand that you can eat any part of the plant, including the root. Remember to always be careful when using wild plants or animals to eat. My Firefox book has recipes.

It’s helpful to have information about the varieties of each plant on your list that will grow well in your area. Some offer resources such as seeds, plants and compost in return for your willingness to share what you grow with friends, neighbors or the local soup kitchen. Starting seeds gives your garden a head start.

The lawn was starting to track and the garden bed had flattened plants. Well, it was the “take responsibility” bit that was my epiphany. When life is going along smoothly, I think we become lazy and forget the amazing resources we have. Difficulties give us the opportunity to grow as well as to create the life we want to have.

That saying could well be “Put some vinegar on it”! Get acid to acid loving plants by watering them with a water/vinegar mix occasionally (acid loving plants examples are blueberries, azaleas, pine and etc). Resources: [link].

It is the careful use of goods and resources. as well as a multitude of talented others! What a rich resource. For this particular project I used a water based primer as the first coat because I wanted to use it up (it works well because it's white). Unfortunately I found it after the tomato plants were destroyed.

I seriously overextended on planting and underestimated how much work my dad used to do so hopefully I’ve learned from my mistakes & will not kill myself in the garden this year! We have significant food restrictions so sourcing our own is helpful health-wise & cost-effective too. Living in NW Arkansas is Walmart headquarters land.

The truth is that paper money is surprisingly resource-heavy, requiring abundant cotton and linen in addition to the land, water, pesticides, fertilizers, and other supplies necessary to tend those crops. Even worse, metal coins are especially excruciating, as mining for copper, zinc, and nickel is well-known to decimate natural environments.

Older types of batteries contained a large amount of mercury which is toxic to plants and animals and should never be released into the environment. Luckily, these elements are a valuable resource because they are expensive, so they tend to be recycled so the metals can be reused. What I didn't mention at the time.
