2020 Resolve to Reduce! Let’s just get this out there – we are ALL polluters. We waste food, water, energy, money, etc. Additionally, many of the ways we manage our land also leads to additional wasting of our natural resources. We are so fortunate in our abundance that it is easy to forget that very recently, we did not have clean air and water in Northeast Ohio.
The Portage County Master Gardener Volunteers, The Portage Park District and the Portage SWCD staff are offering a series of winter workshops aimed at assisting Portage County residents in learning about simple changes we can all make to reduce our negative environmental impacts. This series is open to the public on a first-come basis and is offered at no-cost to participants. Each session will include door prizes that promote the highlighted strategies and 2020 Conservation calendars will be provided to each attendee as supplies last.
Resolve to Reduce Session 3: Reduce your INPUTS. Thursday, March 12th, 2020 at 6:00 PM. This session will look at reducing household and lawn & garden chemicals that are entering waterways. Our focus will be geared more toward IPM (integrated pest management) strategies and lawncare, but we will include a brief primer on green household chemicals. Since this workshop is still in the planning, please visit our website, or see the Spring newsletter for updates as they become available.
