A new program launched in the Washington, D.C. area is taking a holistic view of educating people on what they can do for the environment by adopting a “Chesapeake Lifestyle.”

The Chesapeake Club is a online magazine for showing how to entertain, decorate, maintain your lawn, tour and cook in ways that protect the Chesapeake Bay and take advantage of its resources.

The food section provides the basics on cooking crab, has lots of recipes and guides to restaurants that are part of the Chesapeake Club.

Tips on yard care emphasize using few nutrients and planting native species.

There’s even a guide to decorating tips and entertaining and good spots for day trips around the Bay.

The Chesapeake Bay Program, a collaboration between the states in the Bay drainage area and the Federal Government, help fund and organize the Chesapeake Club.
