My favorite is Environmental Conservation Projects. I met a sustainability professional over the weekend who designs rain gardens. I love how they help solve multiple problems at once.

@Eddie Gajadar they are very cool! This particular professional currently designs urban rain gardens in NYC along sidewalks ect... Some of the benefits include: Environmental Benefits Water Quality Improvement: Rain gardens act as natural filters, allowing water to soak into the ground where soil and deep plant roots filter out common pollutants such as fertilizers, pesticides, oil, and bacteria before they reach local streams, rivers, and lakes. Stormwater Management & Flood Prevention: By collecting and temporarily holding rainwater from impervious surfaces like roofs, driveways, and patios, rain gardens significantly reduce the volume and speed of stormwater runoff. This helps prevent localized flooding, erosion, and strain on municipal sewer systems during heavy rain events. Groundwater Recharge: The process of allowing rainwater to slowly infiltrate the ground helps to replenish local and regional groundwater supplies and aquifers, restoring the natural water cycle. Ecosystem & Biodiversity Support: Native plants used in rain gardens provide valuable food and shelter for beneficial insects, butterflies, and birds, creating vital habitats in developed areas. Reduced Maintenance Needs: Once established, native plants are adapted to local climate and soil conditions, requiring minimal watering, no fertilizers, and fewer pesticides, which saves time and money while protecting the environment. Homeowner & Community Benefits Aesthetic Appeal: Rain gardens enhance the beauty of yards and neighborhoods, offering an attractive alternative to traditional lawns with a variety of colorful native plants and flowers. Property Value: Installing a rain garden can improve a property's curb appeal and may even increase its market value. Mosquito Control: A properly designed rain garden is built to drain within 12 to 48 hours after a rain event, which is not enough time for mosquitoes to lay and hatch their eggs. Potential for Rebates: In some areas, homeowners can receive rebates or reductions on stormwater utility fees for installing rain gardens and other stormwater management practices.

Solid advice!

I love the concept of Truly Human Leadership. This should be the standard! For my class this week (Public Health Admin. & Leadership) I have to write about good leadership and good management skills so this resonates with me as I prepare to work on the assignment.

Thanks for the information 👍🏼
