Words of Wisdom:

Compassion is the sometimes-fatal capacity for feeling what it is like to live inside somebody else’s skin. It’s the knowledge that there can never really be any peace and joy for me until there is peace and joy finally for you too. ~Frederick Buechner

 

From the Green Team:

When doing fall clean-up, leave native perennial flower heads as forage for wildlife, allow seed to disperse naturally, and provide texture in the winter garden. Native grasses are often left for aesthetic interest over the winter, but all are monocots with hollow stems that can collect water and damage plant crowns in winter’s freeze and thaw.

What does it mean when something is good for the environment?

According to the dictionary, being eco-friendly means being designed to have little or no harmful effect on the environment. Therefore, products, goods, events, and eco-friendly services do not cost the planet.
