Five Steps to Healthier Homes and Habitats

Event type: Other
Hosted by: The Biodiversity Project

The Biodiversity Project, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping Americans make the connection between their lives and the need to protect biodiversity, has straightforward recommendations about effective actions we can all take. "Five Steps to Healthier Homes and Habitats" offers gardeners and cooks five simple and effective actions that will help protect their families' health, their quality of life and the environment. These five steps are: just say "no" to lawn and garden chemicals; create or restore healthy habitat in your own back yard; buy organic and locally produced foods; make smart seafood choices; and buy shade grown coffee.
