From our friends at Clark Green Neighbors:
Say BOO to landfills - let's make spooky season sustainable! 🎃♻️🎃
Give your Halloween pumpkins a second life. Instead of throwing them in the garbage and sending them to the landfill, compost them to reduce food waste and nourish the earth.

🍂🐝 Fall is here, and you might be tempted to tidy up your yard or garden… but try to hold off!

Pollinators like bees, butterflies, and moths need messy spaces to overwinter. 🍂✨
✅ Leave the leaves
✅ Leave the stems
✅ Leave it all!
