Dog Parks

Dog Parks have emerged in the last decade or so as places for pet owners living in suburban and urban areas to exercise their dogs. These parks provide a place where dogs can run freely off-leash and socialize with other dogs. Although they're not for everyone, dog parks can benefit both people and their pets. Dog parks are a place where both dogs and human can come together to interact as one community with other people. Social interaction at dog parks can build communities closer together and tasks can be complete more easily, and faster. These parks promote physical health and socialization for both dogs and humans. They also encourage people to exercise and stimulate social interaction with other people. Dog parks build a community of people committed to parks, community involvement and the environment. People at these dog parks will contribute to sustainable movements more easily. There are some dog parks in the country that are using the wastes from dog parks for electricity in lighting the street lights in the park and all over. Dog parks are growing throughout the country, and are very beneficial for creating a sustainable planet.

Community Gardens

Over the past few years, community gardens have began to increase all around local cities, and towns for all of the community. Community Gardens have been a vehicle for bringing people together as a functioning community and has helped us move toward a more sustainable community. These gardens have multiple benefits that have only had a positive impact on our society. The community gardens have increased a sense of community ownership and stewardship that only brings everyone closer together. This brings people with a variety of backgrounds together as one, and they can contribute to the sustainable movements that begin to increase around the city. These gardens can teach kids where the food comes from, basic business principles, the importance of community and stewardship, and issues of environmental sustainability. Families that interact with community gardens have been known to have healthier diets than non-gardening families. These gardens can improve our environment by decreasing the amount of transportation and labor it takes for food to get to the store for us to buy. This will reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emissions in our atmosphere. These gardens add beauty to the community and heighten peoples awareness and appreciation for living things. Community gardens have had a significant impact on the environment, and our society. These gardens can be the beginning of a sustainable movement that create a positive future ahead.
