When you water in the morning, cooler temps and less intense sun prevent evaporation, allowing water to penetrate the soil. This reduces how much water is needed to keep plants happy.๐. Less water = less #pollution generated by water treatment. It's a win-win!

Fireworks are a beloved #July4th tradition, but they can release particulate matter into the air and impact #AirQuality.๐ . Keep an eye out for air quality alerts this holiday weekend, especially if you're more susceptible to #AirPollution.

Greening your lawn care routine doesn't *just* mean switching to electric tools. Don't forget to also use #organic fertilizers and pest control methods. Bonus: some are pretty cute. ๐
