Native vegetation

These plants are born to be wild. Native vegetation refers to grasses, wildflowers, and other plant life that grows naturally in a certain region and climate, as opposed to those that are forced to exist where they don't belong. Cultivating and encouraging native vegetation is an eco-friendly move; it doesn't require the watering, fertilizers, or pesticides that non-native plants do, so it's better for the environment. Native vegetation is also good for native wildlife.

   Biomass

Renewable energy doesn't come only from the sun, wind, and water. Biomass, which is any organic, non-petroleum-based matter that can be used as fuel, has the potential to be sustained indefinitely if properly managed. It's the organic leftovers from forestry and farming that can be put to good use creating energy, instead of going to waste in a landfill. Some examples of biomass include wood residue from forest clearing and mills, livestock waste, aquatic plants, and sugarcane (bagasse).
