- Here's an update on my low-impact shopping month. It hasn't been as successful as I would have liked, but I think I have established some healthier habits. Things I did:
- Made 12 cloth napkins, which my daughter loves to use.
- Cut back on the amount of bottled drinks I drink
- Mostly cut out fast food, with a few exceptions
- Purchased very little. I have purchased a couple gift cards, some scrapbooking adhesives, and a tiny ink pad. This week I will need to purchase a couple gifts.
- Talked to my daughter about why we don't need or want to buy everything we think we need or want. I got lucky because Wall-e helped with this a lot.
I have not:
- Invited others to join me as planned.
- Ridden my bike at all. It's still needs to be summerized. No, that's not a typo. Not summarized, but summer- (as in the season) - ized.
- Walked many places.
- Made any more cloth shopping bags, although I was given a free Trader Joe's shopping bag at the conference I went to.
- Completely stuck to my plan of having meat for only one meal a day. Sometimes I will have a sandwich with meat for lunch, plus meat for dinner.
