This work provides strategies for placing trees, shrubs, and vines to reduce the energy needed to heat and cool your home and information about how to design a food garden that minimizes emissions while providing fresh, healthy produce. In addition it includes an overview of community tree-planting, food saving, and citizen science projects.
