Blog Brag


Well I have to do a little bragging about my honey...

Calvin met his goal of using one tank of gas for the summer, because of using his bike to commute to work. He reduced carbon emissions and is in great shape. I am very proud of him. :)

Rode My Bike

I finally did it. I rode my bike for an errand instead of driving! I was a little scared, but it was fine. I enjoyed it. Now I feel more confidant to ride in the future. It was just a 5 minute ride to the bead shop but I felt really good to avoid using the car.

Bike to Work

Calvin is now officially set up as a cycling commuter. He got his fancy new bike at The Hub in Cotati. He got a baby seat too. The boys LOVE going for rides. I can't wait to get my bike, I think it will be a really fun family activity. We felt really good supporting a local business, and the service has been great.

This Thursday, May 17, 2007 is Bike to Work Day. Here is the City of Santa Rosa Link which also has some great links to other Sonoma County cycling info.

I'm very proud of him. Even if he does this only now and then, it's great exercise, and gets a car off the road. And if he inspires Matt to ride (sorry Erica!), then that's 2 cars off the road! Except of course that they commute together, but anyway...

And yes, this is Calvin's change, but he lives with me so I'm counting it as my one-a-day. So there.

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.
