Let's see -- I've already changed all my light bulbs for compact fluorescents, cut waaaay back on using the car, cut meat out of my diet (years ago), we use environmentally friendly products, buy 93% of my (and family's) clothing at thrift stores, buy wind-power shares for our electricity use, recycle, buy bulk when possible -- now it's time to up my green-ness to the next level. My plans for Earth Month include:

1. Tuning up and start using the bike I bought off Craig's List last fall -- I haven't owned a bike since I was in my early 20s and I'm hoping the old saying is true, that I'll remember how to do it once I get on it. I know that there's someone just a few miles from my house that tunes bikes up for about $15 at his home. Just need to find him again.

2. Continue to down-size our "stuff" -- even just holding on to it all can keep me in the materialism world. I've been giving some stuff away on freecycle, and will continue to do so.

3. Turn off computer strip when not using the computer and the strip for T.V. -- I keep forgetting about this one.

4. Purchase a wheeled basket/cart to carry groceries in -- I keep taking the car to do the shopping because I don't want to walk the groceries home and do damage to my back. I see older people with this type of thing and I'd like to have one, too. Hope it doesn't make me look too old . . .

I'm sure I'll add more goals as it gets closer to April. Always looking for good suggestions -- what green goals are you working toward?
