      Bee friendly lawns are more beautiful than turf grass! And once they are established, much less work than a traditional lawn. Win win!

      Excellent! Urban areas in MN are where the endangered rusty patch bumblebee is still found. Your lawn can help!

    Help eliminate food waste. Yesterday I went thru all my canned goods. I looked up recipes to make with what I have, and using that as my base for grocery shopping today. Excited to use what I have and find some new recipes.

    I'm a member at Grove Collaborative. The offer personal and cleaning products that are environmentally friendly, and have a huge selection of plastic free products, or products that are carbon neutral. I try to make all my purchases there plastic free! So far, I have been successful :)

    Once you start incorporating these items into your daily routine, it just becomes a habit. I always love trying to find new items, that I can purchase that are plastic free.
