Improve the Outdoors

Plant a deciduous (leafy) tree that loses its leaves in fall on the south side of your home. Its shade will cool your house in the summer. After the tree’s leaves fall, sunlight will help warm your house in winter.

Don’t kill that spider! There are an estimated 40,000 species of spiders, and they all eat insects. They’re an important part of the food web and provide natural pest control.

Don’t ditch your pet. If you can’t keep your pet, find it a new home, return it to the store where you bought it, or give it to an animal shelter.
