🌎 🌿 Earthwise Eco-Tip:  Let the Rain Work for You 🌧️💚


After the recent heavy rain, our yards and landscapes got a much-needed drink! Instead of letting all that rainwater rush away, there are simple ways to help capture it, slow it down, and put it to work.


💡 Try these rain-friendly habits:


  • 🌧️ Catch it: Add a rain barrel beneath a downspout and save rainwater for watering plants and gardens later.
  • 🌱 Help it soak in: Add mulch to garden beds and consider native plants that help water soak into the soil.
  • 🪴 Create a rain garden: A planted area where water naturally collects can help slow runoff while adding beauty to your yard.
  • 🧹 Keep it flowing: Clear gutters, downspouts, and drainage areas of leaves and debris so rainwater can move where it's supposed to.
  • 🚫 Protect storm drains: Keep grass clippings, leaves, litter, and other debris out of streets and storm drains.


🌎 Why it matters: Every drop we capture or help soak into the ground is a little less water rushing away—and a little more water available for our landscapes.

The next time the rain comes, let your yard do some of the work! 🌧️🌱


Small shift. Big impact. 💚♻️
