Climate & Ecosystems
Save water by planting indigenous plants to your region.
Indigenous plants or native plants are those that originated in a given geographic area without human involvement or that arrived there without intentional or unintentional intervention of humans from an area in which they originally originated. Native/Indigenous plants and grasses have adapted to the soil in which they grow and usually use less water compared to non-native plants. When your entire garden is native plants, large water savings can be achieved annually.

REFLECTION QUESTIONClimate & EcosystemsIf you have a garden, have you considered upgrading your plants and grasses to indigenous/native plants?
Julie Resendez 4/15/2022 1:14 PMI do not have a garden because I do not have a green thumb. After researching native plants I will definitely try having this type of garden/landscape. It benefits the environment and is low-maintenance. It requires little to no use of fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides making your surroundings safer for family and pets and it requires less water to maintain. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONEducation & LivelihoodWhat was something you learned from your friends during Earth Month?
Julie Resendez 4/14/2022 8:54 AMI learned that old, unused, or broken computers, tablets, phones, and other electronics can be recycled for free by stores, like Office Depot. This saves natural resources and reduces pollution.-

REFLECTION QUESTIONEducation & LivelihoodWhat is one thing you can do to help your community become more sustainable?
Julie Resendez 4/12/2022 1:38 PMRecycle. I have a large recycle can in my home and recycle can in my office. I am always reminding others to pay attention to items that should be recycled.-
Pieter de Bod 4/12/2022 3:14 PMI agree . If I use a paper tea of coffee cup, I know I am a bit crazy, but I try to re-use them at least 3 times before I dump it in the recycle bin. Or I use my steel or porcelain cup.
