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!
