Gardeners know that even small shifts in weather can affect their outdoor plans. But what about global warming? Scientists expect that unless we take action today, global warming could fundamentally change weather patterns in many regions, resulting in droughts and floods, along with conditions that favor certain garden pests and weeds.
But by taking a few simple steps, gardeners can create healthy soil and a beautiful landscape that helps fight climate change. A "climate-friendly" garden stores (or prevents the release of) global warming pollution -- such as carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide and methane. The Union of Concerned Scientists has identified a number of ways in which you can transform your everyday garden into a climate-friendly garden.
Sign our pledge today to commit to adopting climate-friendly gardening practices!
