Are you a stargazer? Point your telescope at the big Perseids meteor shower (its peak is August 12) - just cut your outdoor light pollution so you can see it clearly.

Ground Control - Save Water Week

Houston, do we have a water-waste problem? Not if you shuttle over to your local hardware store and pick up a moisture or rain sensor for your outdoor sprinklers. All (sprinkler) systems go.
Sowing Project

Can't compete with your neighbor's latest big buy? If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. Pooling your resources with your neighbors for purchases like camping equipment and lawn mowers helps save those other, natural kind of resources. (Where's the glory in owning your own snowblower, anyway?)

How do you spell healthy plants with just seven letters? C-O-M-P-O-S-T. Feed your flora compost made from your very own kitchen scraps - no yard (or smell) necessary. Word.
