You might opt to walk or ride your bike instead of driving, bring your own bags, support organic farmers, buy local products, make your own cleaning products, grow food, or volunteer at a local community garden ;) Or, maybe you are just starting your shift to earth-friendly practices. Fortunately, we live in a world where there are increasingly more opportunities to make an impact, big or small. At SCGP we strive to provide workshops, classes and events that encourage symbiosis with the earth and all living things. We are presenting a week full of people-loving-plants activities for everyone to celebrate.
