Do: Visit Eartheasy.com for information on pesticide residues on produce.
Do: Eat organic whenever possible.
Do: Rake your lawn by hand.
Don't: Use pesticides on your lawn.

Do: Contact manufacturers to ask for biodegradable packaging.
Do: Read The World Without Us, Alan Weisman's great book about our impact on the earth.
"Immersion in the life of the world, a willingness to be inhabited by and to speak for others, including those beyond the realm of the human, these are the practices not just of the bodhisattva but of the writer." --Jane Hirshfield
