Gardening
Gardening is something that many of us do for pleasure as a pastime. But there are really important environmental benefits to gardening too.
Many indigenous species in a range of countries are threatened and endangered. This could be due to human action, environmental changes or simply predation or being out-competed by alien species that have been introduced accidentally or on purpose by humans.
Through gardening we can bring back a range of plants and other flora and fauna that will encourage and help a range of native animals, plants, butterflies, insects and birds.
In terms of the human drive for being greener, we can also recycle lots of wasted food material to make great compost for the garden, and re-use our bath water to water plants rather than waste fresh drinking water through the hose or taps for that purpose.
In short, gardening and making the most of our garden and household waste can help make our households a lot greener.
