- Water Conservation: Water scarcity is a growing concern in many parts of the world. By choosing alternative lawn options, you can reduce your water usage and contribute to water conservation efforts.
- Environmentally Friendly: Traditional lawns are often treated with pesticides and fertilizers, which can be harmful to the environment. Alternative lawns, such as our moss and clover options, are naturally resistant to pests and require fewer chemicals.

This morning, I'm researching how to repurpose solar panels from large organizations to power low voltage lighting in my neighborhood in place of having new street lights installed. This would reduce the demand on the electric grid.-

Today, I'm learning with a coworker about re-using old, puncture steel cans to recycle into furniture. It's a great way to turn material that would go to the landfill into reusable items.-

I have been unplugging electronics immediately when I am no longer using them. Saving me money, and energy in the process.-
