Take a moment to observe, to look into the eyes of even the smallest creatures, and you will have a strengthened appreciation for all life.

@artwolfe Very true.

Knowing what NOT to put in your recycling bin is almost as important as knowing what you CAN recycle.
Ever wondered about plastic pumps?
Unfortunately, we can't yet recycle them, because they often contain different types of plastic.

Hawks can be valuable #gardening partners, helping control rodents that might want to snack on your veggies.

Consider reducing (or eliminating) your #pesticide usage in order to ensure a healthy #environment for #hawks and other #wildlife (not to mention you and your #family).
