2012 Transition 'Home & Garden' Challenge Sponsor - Nutiva

May 15, 2012 - PRLog -- The second annual Transition Home & Garden Challenge, for the month of May, returns, encouraging thousands to transform homes and gardens by taking practical actions to save water and energy, increase local food production, and reduce greenhouse gases. Last year, the challenge inspired 1,503 home and garden actions in 37 states and 4 countries! Projects included installing 21 grey water systems and transforming over 500 lawns, erecting clotheslines and teaching gardening or energy efficiency skills. Residents and organizations register their actions online at Transition US where there are additional resources on creating food or water-wise landscapes; installing rain barrels; hosting a community potluck; planting fruit trees, and more!

The Transition Home & Garden Challenge has taken its “call to action” national for the second year running, in collaboration with dozens of other community groups and businesses. The  Challenge will strengthen existing initiatives and encourage new and renewed participation in efforts to save water and energy, unite neighbors around projects, and strengthen local food movements. Individuals and groups are encouraged to build partnerships and alliances in their locales and tackle some home and garden projects together.
