We did it

Three successes .

1. We got our trash down to 1 pound! Yeah!

2. Senator Risser wrote to tell us he has signed on as co-sponsor on the bill for an independent DNR secretary. This is one of the 4 conservation priorities we lobbied for last week. If you want to say thanks to Senator Risser you can email him. He loves fan mail.

3. Nate and Ben went one whole month without eating hot lunch. Go Nate and Ben!
First thing Nate said, when he woke up on Monday, March 2 ..
"I'm getting hot lunch!"

What does 3 pounds look like?

Our trash weighed 3 lbs again this week. So our challenge for this last week of February is...can we get our trash below 3 pounds? Stay tuned......

Two Cool Kids

When we had our family meeting to talk about our February action, we asked the boys what they could do to reduce trash. Nate offered to go with out hot lunch for the whole month. And Ben said he would too.

This is big deal because: hot lunch offers options we don't eat at home ( like chicken nuggets) and both boys make their own cold lunches ( so more work for them.)

I was really proud of both of them!!
