June is for...

Summer is almost here! Celebrate June with the following Green Living events:
June is the official Recycling Month. Commit yourself to reduce and reuse even more.
photo June is also Perennial Gardening month. Plant native species that thrive within our local conditions without extra irrigation (think Echinacea, Yarrow, Black-Eyed Susan)! Create an organic vegetable garden, too, no matter how small your space, to enjoy produce with the most nutrients.

June 5 is World Environment Day, devoted to reducing your carbon footprint.
June 18 is International Picnic Day. Begin an annual early summer tradition with your children or sweetheart and join picnickers around the world!
Check out our new Green Living book section, located across from the front counter. Here you'll find many, many new books devoted to recycling, diminished car use, green alternatives for your home and work, and ways to help renew and regenerate our beautiful planet.
