Eco-Friendly Fall Activities

Fall is a wonderful time to embrace eco-friendly activities as the season changes.

Here are a few ideas to get you started:

• Collect fallen leaves to create nutrient-rich compost for your garden.

• Avoid burning leaves to reduce air pollution.

• Visit local farmers' markets to buy seasonal and organic produce.

• Bring reusable bags, containers, and utensils to fall festivals and events.

• Participate in local tree-planting events or organize one in your community.

• Go through your pantry and donate non-perishable foods you no longer need to a local food pantry - just be sure to check those expiration dates!
