 The Jefferson County Soil and Water Conservation District is working on their long-range plan and they need the feedback of Louisville's citizens. They have created a survey to find out what the top environmental resource concerns are for residents in our county. Click on this link to access the survey.
The best way to reduce the need for yard waste collection and improve your yard is to follow the Love 'Em and Leave 'Em (LELE) practice of using your yard waste as fertilizer.
LELE Tips & Tricks include:
-
Set your mower to maximum height. Follow the one-third rule: never cut more than one-third of the total height of the grass when you mow.
-
Don't bag those clippings! Leaves and grass break down rapidly, releasing nutrients back into your soil.
-
Mulch leaves and landscape trimmings into your lawn. Mow over landscape trimmings and leaves without a grass catcher. To avoid hazards while mowing, make sure trimmings are no larger than a pencil.
-
Start composting! With your own compost bin or pile you can recycle food scraps and yard waste into usable compost for your flower beds, gardens, potted plants, or other landscaping. More information

Skulduggery
Definition: underhanded or unscrupulous behavior; trickery.
Used in a sentence: The company's apparently healthy bottom line was merely an illusion, the result of years of accounting skullduggery.
“There is a time for quiet reflection and contemplation. Then, there is a time to make one's voice heard. Sometimes that requires escalated volume, not to frighten or drown out other voices but as a courtesy to the hearing-impaired folks (like me) in the back of the room.”
--- Anthony Bieda
(District 7 Resident)
Easy to Clean Refrigerator Shelves
 Why clean up messes and spills in your refrigerator if you don't have to? Make clean ups even easier by laying down some Press'n seal on your refrigerator shelves so you can easily take it off and throw it away. No wiping – just pull it off and throw it away!
