Tip of the week:
A good way to learn is by doing. Get involved with an organization that speaks to your values. I'm fortunate to live in a home that has a great backyard, especially since I live in a city. I began volunteering at a non-profit organization that protects our local gardens and greenways. This is teaching me a lot about planting, organic permaculture, and composting. Not only am I making a difference in my city, I'm learning too!
