To take care of Earth, I recycle, take short showers, and limit water use (including not watering my lawn and using rain water to water my flowers). I also buy organic meat, veggies and dairy. I’m looking for suggestions on more ways to help the earth other than composting. I looked into it and it won’t work in my household.
I try to grow plants and give shade for animals. Don’t get addicted to technology and try to get a electric vehicle in future. Try to use alternative to plastic. Keep the ecosystem in balance.
I recycled my old house, the insulation, the stones, the windows, i can build a new little one if i have the power for it…
I eat less animals, more grains…
Always fresh water and food for the birds, 50% of this ground is completely wildgrown, much flowers for insects,
ride the bicycle, using old equipment, buying no botteled water…
Without that nature around me, the animals i would’t write this text i think, the took me many times out the hole, when i got really sad i must often laugh because they are sometimes really funny.
I considered composting, but my husband said no way. But there are other things we can do. He also refuses to go meatless but I’m looking into cost effective ways for me to skip on the meat but still feed it to him.
I have chickens. They are my little composters. All our scraps go to them, they poop on and fertilize my yard. They also eat bugs, so no pesticides needed.
That’s cool. I never thought about chickens doing all that. I wonder how chickens would fare in a Northern Michigan winter. I’d love to save on organic eggs! But seriously, having your own chickens is a great idea.
