Because I am a Real Estate Broker and work with
people that are new to Santa Fe, I always try to
make them aware of our precious environment
- especially involving water - and what they may plant
in the yard that will survive nicely in our climate. If they allow me
the opportunity, I also share my experience with feeding my pets both raw and
organic as much as possible. This makes for
healthier, happier pets!Over the past few
months I've stopped using
plastic bottles and bought a couple of stainless
steel containers that I fill with filtered water
from the house. What a big difference when taking
out the garbage! Because of the reports of how
plastic bags are causing global problems, I've
reduced my use of them to a bare minimum and bring
my cloth bags to the store to fill with my goodies.
For trash bags, I make sure they're filled to the
top and make the best use of them.
I found a great organic landscaping company south of
here that showed me natural ways to kill the
bugs that invade my pinons. Would you believe plain
dish soap and water serve just as well as
insecticides? I
have the best smelling trees in Santa Fe! To feed my
plants, I also
collect coffee grounds from the local coffee houses
and tea that I use myself to feed the plants and the
trees in my yard. They love it and are thriving.
