Kudos !! Sharon Park Home Owner Association (Melono Park, California USA) embarked on sustainable landscaping that provides habitat for wildlife, insects and especially bees and butterflies.  Their extensive gardens now feature native plantings, water-wise garden methods and birdbaths scattered throughout. ** Just Fantastic!!! Thank you to all who were involved in this wonderful achievement and for supporting wildlife . :)   ~~ Visit the Brummet's @:  http://BrummetMedia.ca ~~  

Kudos !! Back in 2008, Cherry Creek 3 (Denver, Colorado USA) – a home owner association - was spending 42% of the budget on sewage and water bills.  The community decided to embark on a toilet replacement project with the more efficient dual variety and in just the first year they were able to replace 425 toilets in their community.  Soon afterwards, due to increased water-wise awareness the community started wildlife gardening – transforming both public and private spaces into water-wise and wildlife friendly areas. Within just 5 years after the start of all this (the toilet replacement program) they found the community had seen a drop of 15 million gallons of water use annually. 15 million gallons less water per year!  ** Just Fantastic!!! Thank you to all who were involved in this wonderful achievement :)   ~~ Visit the Brummet's @:  http://BrummetMedia.ca ~~
