• Green living means making sustainable choices.
• Think about the main goal that you are trying to achieve:
• Save water
• Save energy
• Reduce waste
• Reduce pollution
• Help others
• Save money
• Start with the action that is easiest for you, and give yourself time to adjust to the
change before taking on something else.
What does it mean to live green?

Making your garden green• Reduce watering and follow your local
watering restrictions
• Get your irrigation system checked annually
• Use rain barrels
• Reduce mowing or use electric/push mower
• Mulch leaves instead of bagging them
• Use compost
• Reduce fertilizer and pesticide use
![Page 41: Agenda - Dallasdallascityhall.com/departments/pnv/DCH Documents/ATB...City of Dallas Urban Reforestation Program Supplies trees & planting guidance Program requirements: •Must be](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081613/5fb809a3d52c6431bc295e5c/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Did you
know?The populations of
many pollinators,
like
bees, butterflies,
and bats,
have declined
significantly in
recent years.
• Plant pollinator-friendly gardens
• Plants flowers that bloom in different seasons
• Use a variety of plants
• Avoid “smart plants”
• Reduce the use of chemicals, like fertilizers and pesticides
• Use native plants
What can I do?
![Page 42: Agenda - Dallasdallascityhall.com/departments/pnv/DCH Documents/ATB...City of Dallas Urban Reforestation Program Supplies trees & planting guidance Program requirements: •Must be](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081613/5fb809a3d52c6431bc295e5c/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Why plant native?There are lots of green benefits:
Native plants and trees
• Drought tolerant
• Thrive in our soil
• More resistant to local pests
• Natural food for local animals, including pollinators
Non-native plants and trees
• Require more water
• Need more fertilizer
• Need more pesticides
• Can be invasive
