Dr. Anna Marie begins the greenovation of her 1970s ranch house, which she calls “Terra Verde” (Green Acres). She begins by cleaning up the overgrown landscaping, digging up then recycling the toxic fuel tank from the yard, and donating any good material and appliances to the Habitat for Humanity ReStore.
Show notes:
1. TURN YARD SCRAPS INTO LANDSCAPING MULCH. Don’t create a burn pile. Some cities outlaw burn piles because they contribute to smog and global warming. In the video, Dr. Anna Marie uses a Bobcat to spread her mulch. If possible, it’s best to order a pizza and get the neighbors to bring their wheel barrows over for a carbon-free mulch spreading party.
2. RECYCLE ALL METAL OR WOOD THAN CAN’T BE SALVAGED.
3. DONATE ALL USABLE MATERIAL TO A HABITAT RESTORE OR OTHER REUSE CENTER NEAR YOU. Reduce, reduce, reduce . . . then Reuse and Recycle!!
