“America’s mountains, prairies, woodlands, and waterways are natural wonders of breathtaking beauty, and they provide resources for trade and transportation, human welfare and recreation. These resources are not ours to abuse. We hold them in trust for posterity,” President Ford said in his proclamation designating April 22-28, 1976, as Earth Week. “Our environment is the responsibility not only of government and business, but it must also be a matter of daily concern to every American.”

A lavender field pathway in the direction of the guest home. Pollinators love to hang out, which helps our environment through the cross pollination of our plants, trees, and flowers. They support our ecosystem by pollinating food sources for other wildlife and humans.
We’re all connected, so take care of your home by using organic products that don’t kill wildlife. The use of pesticides poisons bees, as do insecticides. There’s even one that attacks their nervous system. Flying through treated areas exposes them to the chronic poisoning of their water and nectar. All of this damages the planet and our lives.
