Plant Smartly As for plants, do everything you can in your yard and garden to create ways in which plants use less water. Choose hardier plants, plant things in groups that need more water and put in mulch to help keep moisture in. When you mow your grass, make sure you do it smartly-with sharp blades, and only when the grass needs cutting. Make sure you water your lawn sparingly. All of these will conserve energy. And that's your green tip of the day!
