A blog that attempts to provide you with useful examples and tips that could make a large positive ecological impact, although they are seemingly minor, quick and easy changes to your daily routine.

Tip #18: How does your garden grow?  

Budget: Up to you
Time required: Also, up to you
Estimated impact: Reducing food miles, potential for creating healthier eating habits, and much more

Tip: Go to your local gardening center get some vegetable plants or seeds and plant something. Either in a pot or in your yard.

Watching stuff grow that you planted is a great thing. Not only will you have the benefit of tasting your own “fruits (or vegetables) of labor”, but you’ll also reduce some of your food miles (see http://www.dailyecotips.com/tip-60-reduce-your-food-miles/)
