Earth Day 2019 is a month and change away, April 22 and spring are fast approaching!

BC Hydro has some suggestions to do for that day. ( without a trip to Paris)!

  • Stop Cutting the Grass ( water restrictions can only get worse, how about Xerscaping the back Yard.)
  • Make or Buy a rain barrel. ( more control of rain and roof run off)
  • Get air purifing pants to clean inside the house…
  • Be nice to bees and birds ( that’s how you got here) bee friendly plants!
  • And of course your brain wave and common wisdom…
