At least four other people rode their bikes to work today. So, in the grand scheme of things, it’s not monumental that I rode my bike to work today, but in my little world it was super exciting. And what was more exciting than that was that I rode it to work toting my [...]

Weekend negotiations. I love them so much more than I like the ones that happen at the office. I don’t know what happened to me this week, but I didn’t do any chores around the house, laundry is piled high and there are at least five coffee cups in the sink and the mail is [...]

Comfort zone. Doesn’t it feel good to get outside of it?

Action leads to motivation. I truly believe that. Over the past few months I’ve mimicked initiatives started by other people. AfricanKelli sent out a charge to see what each of her readers could do in a week focused on ‘reduce, reuse, recycle’ and I picked up what I think are great habits.

Garbage. Americans produce more and more of it every year, when we need to be producing less.
Even the most waste-conscious among us can feel overwhelmed by the amount of household waste that goes beyond what municipal recyclers and compost bins can handle.

Yay! I love brown bag lunches! I forgot my fancy lunch bag yesterday at work and this morning I pulled out a good old fashioned brown bag for lunch.
I couldn’t resist putting my name on it all twirly fancy like I would in middle school.
Let’s see, other news? Oh, I put a recycle box in [...]
(this post is a little late, but this is how my Green Week ended)
I’ve learned so much this week and become aware of so many other things I can incorporate into my everyday life. This week has given way to so many great conversations.
