Missouri Botanical Garden Staff and Volunteers

We eat a lot of fruit and veggies at home.  In a week, we can save about 1/2 - 3/4 of a tall kitchen trash bag from going to the landfill.  The added benefits of having a compost pile in our back yard is we can use it for our garden anytime.  

Make my own coffee or tea in the morning.  Put the coffee or tea in a travel mug.

have gotten rid of the plastic toys and have purchased ones made from natural materials. 

those reusable cups and bottles are making a huge impact. even getting the grandsons their own for grandpas truck when they are with me as well as talking to them about it
