Late fall and early winter is the time when most of the plants in your landscaping go into dormancy and although leaf removal is a very important part of fall clean up, it is not the only thing that needs to be completed to ensure your landscaping looks its best next spring. Proper trimming and pruning is also extremely important. Developmental pruning now will allow for better growth in the spring. It also is a great opportunity to repair any small damage that has occurred to plants, and to ensure that they maintain the proper shape and appearance for the upcoming season. Another service that creates a neater appearance over the winter is the cutting back of dormant perennials and ornamental grasses. To schedule your fall clean up/leaf removal, please email tracey@goodnatureinc.com or call the office 336-7200.

Feeling guilty about internet shopping? Well don't! A February 2009 study from Scotland's Heriot-Watt University found that the average consumer shopping by car buys fewer than 19 items per trip, shopping on the internet using ground mail delivery will emit less CO2 per item. To even further your eco-friendly choice of internet shopping, choose the US Postal Service for your carrier. They come to your house everyday anyway, they use water-based inks for stamps, a third of all USPS deliveries are made on foot, and its delivery fleet includes electric, hybrid, and biodiesel vehicles.

Here are a few tips from Earth 911 on how to GREEN your Thanksgiving celebration:
Use Less Stuff created a handy list of approximate per person food and drink portions:
· After the meal, evaluate how many people were present and how much of each dish was consumed. By keeping track each year, you can make a more efficient, less wasteful Thanksgiving meal in the future.
· Don't be afraid! Use you china, stemware, nice flatware, and cloth napkins. Thanksgiving could be that special occassion you are saving it for! If disposable place settings are your only choice because of family/crowd size, be sure to purchase biodegradable flatware, napkins, and plates. You can find them at many stores or at BiodegradableStore.com.
· The average dishwasher uses between 7 and 15 gallons of water per cycle. After the meal, be sure to fill the dishwasher to capacity before running it to save water and energy. Try to run it after midnight to save more energy.
· Make sure your recycling bins are out and all guests know where they are.
