SPRING HAS FINALLY SPRUNG! As the last dredges of winter make their way out, and we can finally begin to stop and smell the roses, it’s also a good time to remind ourselves to take the time to appreciate our beautiful planet. While April 22 is Earth Day, here at Brentwood Lifestyle, we are celebrating the planet all month long with our “Eco” issue. Here in this issue, we highlight the people and places in our community who are committing to keeping this planet beautiful—from local farms using sustainable practices and eco-friendly organizations giving back to the community to farmto-table restaurants focused on local ingredients to fuel-efficient vehicles for sale at local dealerships.
