For an alternative, consider the worm
composting method to break down food
scraps and nonrecyclable paper.
On hot days, water your lawns in the early
morning or in the evening.
Xeriscape: use water-saving native plants that
don't need as much fertilizer.
These practices reduce garbage, conserve water,
protect and build up the soil, and reduce runoff=
water pollution. Learn about worm composting,
Xeriscaping, and other conservation practices in
A Green Guide to Yard Care (GI-28). Order a free
