3 Ways to Improve Your Local Environment

(SPM Wire) Looking for hands-on ways to improve your local environment this summer? Check out these three family-friendly ideas:

1. Join a waterfront clean-up: Did you know that all waterways lead to the ocean? No matter where you live, you can participate in Ocean Conservancy’s International Coastal Clean-Up this September. This event is an annual reminder that local actions can have global impacts. Your participation will improve the health of a nearby stream, river or lake, and all the world’s oceans, too. To join an existing clean-up or start your own, visit oceanconservancy.org.

2. Grow native plants: Sometimes, the most decisive action you can take happens right in your own backyard. Growing native plants provides the right habitat for local wildlife passing through your yard and encourages pollination. It also requires less upkeep – which means you won’t have to use as much water to keep your garden green and vital.

3. Ride a bike: Consider swapping your car ride for a bicycle ride whenever possible. It’s not only a heart-healthy way to get around town, you’ll be reducing your carbon footprint and improving the air in your community.
