Counterbalance Pollution

An article in Woman's Day featured the website www.drivinggreen.com. It talked about how many of us cannot afford to go out and buy the latest in eco-friendly cars, and offers a way we can offset our emissions. Their calculator helps you to figure out what you emit annually, and gives a dollar amount you can donate. This amount is used to fund projects aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions in farms around the world.

We have two Toyotas and my dad-in-law has a Chevy Cavalier. In total, we donated $152 for our vehicles to offset.

Welcome Visitors!

If you're reading for the first time, it may feel a bit like you've just walked into a conversation that has been going on for awhile.

So to catch you up...

Jennifer started this blog because she was going through the process of becoming more conscious of her lifestyle choices and had decided to "go green". As she talked to her friends she quickly realized that she was not the only one interested in making changes. The blog was born. We used this as a place to discuss things we've tried and to support each other in the journey.
