[Pollinator] Sterile Lawn to Beautiful Habitat

[Kimberly Winter]

This article (http://www.truthabouttrade.org/article.asp?id=5771) brings to 
light an important topic:  LAWNS!

As we go into Memorial Day weekend, let's spread the word about relying less 
on biotechnology to bring us maintenance-free lawns, instead converting 
those grass monocultures into biodiverse pollinator and wildlife friendly 
habitats with flowering plants!

Even converting 25% of your lawn can significantly reduce your energy 
consumption, increase the aesthetic beauty of your yard, and provide 
important food sources for a variety of pollinating invertebrates, + birds 
and mammals.

One of our NAPPC Task Forces is currently compiling a useful list of 
pollinator-friendly garden plants.  In the meantime, check out some of the 
information found at the new www.pollinator.org website:
http://www.pollinator.org/resources.html

Have a good Memorial Day weekend,

~Kim
