As we honor the life and legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. today, we are reminded that every day is a day to ask "What are you doing for others?". Let's strive to make every day in 2021 a day of service. #MLKDay

But for those without green thumbs, there’s another option: yard sharing. https://thecounter.org/grassroots-groups-grow-produce-yard-sharing-access-crop-swap/

Ever heard someone tell you that younger trees absorb more carbon dioxide that older trees?

“You can't sequester a lot of carbon without big trees,” Lutz says. “You just can't do it.”
