Take Action! | Sustainability | SIU

Hello Saluki Green Action Team! We have been learning ways to keep yourself cool this summer, but your lawn also needs care to thrive in warm weather and there's a green action for that. 

Did You Know: Watering your lawn at night or during the early morning hours can reduce evaporation 30 percent or more, depending on your location? (Source: http://www.isustainableearth.com/water-conservation/summer-water-saving-tips-for-your-lawn-and-garden) 

Take Action Now: Collect rainwater, be careful not to overwater your plants, and follow other tips you can read about in the source! As we learned last month, it is easy for water bills to climb in the summer. Be sure to also check for any leaks or holes in your system.
