The article discusses a report from the National Wildlife Federation (NWF) concerning gardening and global warming. The report outlines actions that gardeners can take to combat global climate change. Outdoor lighting bulbs should be replaced with energy efficient compact fluorescent bulbs. Gardeners should avoid using gasoline-powered tools such as lawn mowers and leaf blowers. Gardeners can reduce the threat of invasive plant species by planting native flora.
