I’ve decided to try to do this. I was thinking about it this morning, and I realized I can not only make a difference in someone’s life, and not only make a difference in my own life, but I can make a difference in my energy footprint.

I am planning to take an “energy vacation” in the near future. This means that I am going to choose a weekend to shut off all of the electricity, not drive or even use public transportation, and get my butt off of the couch and away from the television. I’m going to stock up on handmade soy candles and cook over the fireplace/eat pb and j’s, etc. I don’t think this is asking too much of myself for two days, and I do think it will be one way I can make a difference…

Now I need to talk my husband into going along with my plan. I am sure he’ll be up for it.
