Plants and soil lose water during the day through evaporation. Watering during the cooler times of the day gives the water a chance to permeate the soil and be absorbed by the roots of the plants.
In hot conditions, it is better to water in the evening. In cooler conditions, though, plants can develop fungal growth from water on their leaves overnight, so it is preferable to water early in the morning.
Group plants with similar water needs – place thirsty plants together and water them longer, but less often, to encourage deeper roots and increase their drought tolerance.
Plastics are recycleable material
Why are most plastics marked with a number inside a recycling symbol?
Plastics are identified by numbers 1-7. Here’s some common products you’ll find of each type:
There are about 50 different groups of plastics, with hundreds of different varieties. All types of plastic are recyclable. To make sorting and thus recycling easier, the American Society of Plastics Industry developed a standard marking code to help consumers identify and sort the main types of plastic. These types and their most common uses are shown as below.`

Resource conservation: Leaves enough for everyone. By simply choosing durable goods, you can significantly reduce your resource consumption and therefore reduce your individual environmental impact.
Recycle: Reusing respects our resources. Buying recycled products conserves our raw materials, saves energy, generates less waste and pollution, and ultimately protects our ecosystems.
