Hip Mountain Momma ( http://hipmountainmamablog.com/ ) has posted a challenge and I accepted. They want people to make an economic change for an entire month, each month, until April in celebration of Earth Day.
How does it work? On January first (or soon after) you will decide on what change you want to make for that month and blog about it. For the entire month you will be conscious of this decision and follow through with what you decided on. Then on Feb. 1 you will write another blog post explaining how the month went with your new green change and also write about what you will change for that month. You will do the same on March 1st and April 1st, then will have one final post on April 22nd listing all the changes you made and the differences it made in your life.
January Goal- I am going to start our family recycling program. I need to get a larger garbage can because most everything we throw away is recyclable. Today I will go out and get a recycle can and order my recycle stickers from the city. This is something I wanted to start this year so why not now, TODAY. Why put it off any longer? We only have today to make a change because yesterday is gone and tomorrow will never come.
You can do it too!- Interested in doing something to make a change? You can still join the challenge and have a chance to win some wonderful green products at the end of it too. Every little thing can help. There are ideas on so many websites.
I can't wait to see how much we can recycle! Hopefully all of it but Micah's diapers.

Hmm. I'm wondering what sort of goals I/The Millers can make. We already recycle a lot. And Dan is nearly crazy about turning off lights when no one is using them. :-) Do you have any easy suggestions?
Carolyn- water conservation, placing a brick in your toliet, shorter showers. I was checking out some of the other blogs to get some ideas. Some people are way into it and others are begginers like me.
Thanks for joining the challenge! I think it is so great that you are starting to recycle...yay!!
