Climate Action for Everybody | November 2024 Information & Events

Composting (Unpainted) Pumpkins - Pumpkins, gourds, corn, and straw bales make wonderful fall decor, but they take up landfill space and create methane when they are thrown away. The good news is that when these items are left unpainted, they can make great food for livestock and rich compost!

 

Greening the Holidays - Make memories, not waste, this holiday season.

 

Leave Your Leaves Climate & Environment Campaign - Pledge to leave your leaves to get a yard sign to encourage others! Signs are available while supplies last.

Leaving your leaves through spring supports pollinators, reduces waste, improves the ecosystem, and reduces flooding and pollution.
