Create Your Own Action
Pollinator Habitat
I want to get a house for Mason Bees in my garden, and plant milkweed and native wildflowers that will attract and feed monarch butterflies. Late in the summer, I hope to raise monarch caterpillars from the milkweed.

Find Local Recycling Depots
I will find out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in my curbside bin.
Water
Mulch the Base of Trees and Plants
I will prevent water runoff and increase absorbency.

Audit Toxic Cleaning Products in my Home
I will spend at least 30 minutes researching toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies and personal care products and remove them from my home.

I will join an outdoor restoration project in my community.

Eco-friendly Gardening

John Cooper 3/14/2019 6:18 AMFor you folks looking to up your pollinator garden game: Costco has some Mason bee houses for sale right now. I should also have some extra wild flower and milkweed seeds that are great for butterflies later this spring if anyone wants some. -
