Lighting
Multiple globe fittings are an inefficient form of lighting. Around six 25W globes (a total of 150W) are needed to produce the equivalent light output of a single 100W globe.

1. Land for Wildlife can help you to create a "healthy ecosystem" on your property and move towards sustainable landuse.
2. Lawns provide animals with no shade, shelter, or food, and the runoff from fertilizers and pesticides applied to lawns can contaminate wildlife habitats. Instead of cultivating a sea of grass, consider going 'wild', choose native varieties, imitate natural habitats, and provide animal food sources.
3. Fences can be barriers to wildlife, restricting access to food and shelter. If you have a tall fence, create some small gaps along the bottom through which animals can pass.
4. Clean, fresh water is important to wildlife, especially birds, insects, and amphibians. Not all animals can access a tall pedestal birdbath, so consider installing a low, ground-level birdbath or small pond.
