14/x Use firewood sourced from your local area.
Don't take your local firewood with you when you go camping -- get firewood there.
Don't bring your leftover firewood back home with you when you're done camping -- leave it behind.
Don't move firewood.

Prairie strips are a farm conservation practice that requires minimal intervention and delivers huge benefits
By converting 10% of cropland to native prairie, farmers can reduce soil loss by 95%, total phosphorous loss by 90%, and total nitrogen loss by 85%
