words inspire

There is a book that has been a continual inspiration for me. In the masterful work Nature's Best Hope, author Douglas W. Tallamy’s message is clear: Taking environmental action in our own backyards is a powerful way to make a positive impact on the planet.

Tallamy's message is an important one: that we all have a role to play in protecting the environment, and that small actions can add up to big change. By working together and taking individual steps to create a more sustainable future, we can make a real difference in the health of our planet.

So, if you're worried about the planet, take heart: change really can start in your own backyard. By creating a haven for local wildlife and practicing environmentally-friendly habits in your daily life, you can be part of the solution

By creating a garden or backyard that supports local wildlife, you can help to restore and protect natural habitats in your area. This can include planting native plants that provide food and shelter for birds, butterflies, and other wildlife, as well as reducing or eliminating the use of harmful chemicals in your yard.
