One Small Change
I just learned about a great blogger movement called One Small Change. The basic concept is that between now and Earth Day (April 22, 2010), each participating household makes one change to be more earth friendly and blogs about each month’s change, so that by the time Earth Day rolls around everyone has made four changes and shared those changes with others. I love this idea because it gives me a way to FOCUS (That’s my word for the year. More on that later.) on greening our household, and also prompts me to do more blogging about environmental topics, which I’ve been wanting to do.
I’ve actually already told you about the first change for our household in my post about resolutions. The first change will be to eat more local foods.
I would love it if you would join me in this adventure. Check out the One Small Change webpage, and post about your change on your blog. If you don’t have a blog, you can leave a comment on this post saying what your January change is. Then, when I post in February, you can comment with your February change, and so on.
I’m headed over to the Certified Arkansas Farmers Market website to see about placing an order through their online market!

Hi,
I found your blog via One Small Change. I just wanted to leave a comment to say I think it’s great and that I love your title & header.
Good luck with your change!
You have motivated me! For January, I am going to start BIG and use natural cleaning products or make my own. You know how I love to clean!
Oh boy! I need to hurry and figure something out. It’s already January 6th. I’ll go check out the link.
Already made my CAFM order this week. 🙂 Remember, you have to place your order before 6 p.m. Wed for Saturday pickup. Hey- we are really enjoying spring mix from AR Natural Produce– lots of spicy greens in this mix! And, Kornegay Berry Farms has frozen blackberries that are wonderful, too!
If you haven’t checked it out, yet, try Petit Jean Farm’s 50/50 special (http://www.petitjeanfarm.com/index.html). I have been thrilled with both the quantity and quality. I have one of their meadowbeef roasts in the crockpot right now. Can’t wait- YUM
Will be interested to hear about your how your first small change goes!
Nicole, that IS a BIG one, looking forward to hearing how it goes. Would also love to hear if you find any homemade cleanser recipes you like.
Janet, thanks for the endorsement on the 50/50 package. I’d been looking at that and wondering if it would fit in my freezer. I was planning to buy honey from Petit Jean Farms too.
That’s a great change to make, I’ve been thinking about that one for our family too. Looking forward to hearing how it goes.
