Plant native landscaping – it’ll thrive without much additional watering.
Mow less frequently – longer grass shades itself, preserving soil moisture and mowing less often reduces fuel usage and the amount of emissions from it.
Overwinter plants – bring in plants from the garden when weather turns cold to keep them alive all winter, then replant them outdoors next season.
Use ocean (reef) friendly sunscreen – made with non-micronized zinc oxide and/or titanium dioxide.
Choose reusable, biodegradable or edible dinnerware – instead of disposable items, reduce waste by using items like biodegradable, edible wheat bran plates and seaweed-based edible straws.
Plant natural pest control – Marigolds, rosemary, mint, lemongrass, garlic, lavender, basil, catnip and petunias deter pests without chemicals.
Water your plants one less time per week – this practice can reduce water consumption 10-15%.
Volunteer at organizations dedicated to green causes – if you find yourself with extra time on your hands, it’s a valuable resource to share in the interest of the environment.
