Enviro Kids
I was a kid in the fifties and sixties, and although there wasn't a lot of environmental consciousness going on at the time, I did begin to wonder where did all the garbage go.
Today's kids are being raised a lot differently, with a consciousness to help preserve the planet, a step in the right direction.
This is a photo of my daughter, when she was younger, joining in with the flowers.
Enjoy a walk
Studies have shown that plants that received attention, by just being looked at and all other conditions being equal, grew taller and healthier than plants that didn't receive attention. So just by going out for a walk and enjoying the plantlife that is there, contributes to their health as well as to yours.Enjoy a walk.

Recycle or Re-Use
Some of the items are picked up when we set the garbage out, and some of the items we take to a recyling center.
When we shop, we use less plastic bags by using re-usable bags.
When we use plastic bags, we also re-use them. For example, we use the small plastic bags in our small trash cans; they make a perfect liner. We also use them as small garbage bags for our pet waste.
Many people also recycle plastic bags; many grocery stores have containers for recycling plastic bags.
So when it comes to being earth friendly, we can recycle and/or re-use.
