Urban Lifestyles Improve the Environment


We make a difference when we live in older places, live in the city and other places that have already been developed.
Some of my friends have asked me why I live in the metro area of Seattle--right downtown. I'm a homebody, but I live in the center of the city because I am a dyed-in-the-wool environmentalist--right to the core. I live here because it is one of the least places I can do more damage. I can make this space better by creating container gardening and encouraging native landscaping (which my apartment does).

For more info on native landscaping in your area google "your state + native plant society"

Here are a few that I found:


For other states check out this awesome website which lists all of the native plant societies in the USA! The Michigan State Botanical Club has got it goin' on! SAY YES TO MICHIGAN!
