Did you know that you can help build Veggie Village’s compost pile? Just visit the WCPC kitchen, and see a container like this one (either on the counter or in one of the silver refrigerators). Bring us your fruit and veggie food scraps (and coffee grounds), and stow in the frig. We will see that it is turned into BLACK GOLD to make the gardens thrive. Just remember: no meats and other food products, just fruits and veggies. Yep!

🎶 It’s not easy being green….🎶
That’s what Kermit sings. But he doesn’t know about The Woodlands GREEN. G.R.E.E.N. stands for The Woodlands GrassRoots Environmental Education Network, and it’a an awesome organization, doing tons of good things for our environment. To learn about their great work (and even to join them), just go to www.thewoodlandsgreen.org. It’s easy!

Some people think “recycled toilet paper” is a hilarious joke! Ha ha. I, on the other hand, think it is a GREAT IDEA! Not only does the use of “post-consumer” paper products save trees (yay!), but their production requires less toxic chemicals. That’s a double win for all of us. So we can do TWO things: faithfully recycle all of our paper, and purchase new products made from used paper. Sure keeps the trees happy!

I am a Texan, born and raised! So I love to see locally grown fresh fruits and veggies for sale. Made in Texas! Did you know that buying locally grown food helps the environment? It sure does! Local produce does not have to travel hundreds, or even thousands, of miles to your table. Travel takes energy and emits carbon. That is causing problems for my family. So give the Farmer’s Market a try. It is a fun way to discover the bounty of our state!

When you live in a forest, you sure do have a lot of leaves. I love to play in them! But when it is time to clean off the driveway and sidewalks, I put my broom to work. Sometimes I see others using their water hose to rinse the dirt and leaves. It works, but sure does use a lot of our most precious resource, WATER! So next time you are doing the yard chores, pick up the broom. Added benefit: great exercise!

My mommy taught me to wash up to keep from getting sick. I’m sure you wash your hands, especially after using the bathroom. Wet. Soap. Scrub. Rinse. Dry. Boom! You did it! At church we have paper towels to dry. Did you know you can dry your hands with just ONE? Who needs more than that? Just let extra water drip off of your hands before you grab the towel. Saves paper! So I say, “Try just one to dry. Give it a try.” Makes me happy!

I don’t normally get into controversial topics. But here goes! Is it “scratch” paper, or is it “scrap” paper? Any time I see a sheet of paper with a blank side, I jump on it. That blank side is a real FIND! It can be used for all sorts of things. Making lists, taking notes, and even printing out temporary documents. So I never throw away (or even recycle) a piece of paper with a blank side to it. But what do I call it? Hmmm…….Anybody know?

A little swig of coffee in the morning sure gets my antennae perked up! I noticed that WCPC has a coffee bar on Sunday morning, just outside the sanctuary. A great place for visiting, don’t you think? I also saw some ceramic mugs sitting on the counter. Hey, everybody! How about grabbing a ceramic mug instead of a paper cup? Just return it, and that same mug will be washed for use again the next week. Earth friendly, indeed!

Last week I was happily crawling around the neighborhood, when it started to rain. Boy, I got drenched! Made me wish I had my red umbrella. But wait! Something was not right. It wasn’t rain; it was a lawn sprinkler! What? I didn’t expect that for sure. It is winter, and St. Augustine lawns go dormant. That means they don’t need water. So we can turn off our sprinklers. Great way to save on water, money and unhappy creatures!
