Few will have the greatness to bend history itself; but each of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in the total of all those acts will be written the history of this generation.
What does your yard say about you? Do you desire big, showy flowers that crave lots of attention (and make the water department happy)? Or are you satisfied with subtle variations of green or maybe hardier plants that are native to the region?
The good news is, you can have it all—avoid the energy-intensive managed landscape while crafting an attractive, resource efficient yard.
Start thinking about how with this page, “Tips for more sustainable landscapes”.
This site is inspired by the memory of Richard Shatten, a former board member of EcoCity Cleveland,
who pushed Northeast Ohio to think strategically about regionalism and sustainability.
