I believe a better, healthier world is possible. I think it may be the smallest things that end up making a difference, or at least catapulting the biggest changes.
Today is the day I've been looking forward to for several weeks. It's my birthday and it's the day I'm starting on a year-long experiment. I'm calling it Need Less, Give More. This little experiment is relatively simple, I won't buy anything (besides consumable items like food and soap) for one year--until my birthday next year. And during this year I will also give one thing away every day.
I don't know how this will really play out, but I hope I will learn and change and grow. I made my last purchase today--a camera. So, hopefully during this next year I will be able to document some of my experiences and share some of the things I learn along the way.

I wish you the best of luck and admire you for even attempting this. I know with your determination though you will be successful.

I love this idea. I can't wait to read all about it! Happy Belated Birthday! Hard to believe it's been a year since we were living large in California. -- ALS
What a wonderful idea! I too am very excited to see how it turns out. I'm tempted to do it myself. I have so much stuff and probably don't use half of it! Happy Birthday!
It will be interesting to hear how this plays out for you. One or the other is a big undertaking. But both? Best wishes on this venture. You inspire me!
You're the coolest. I heart you!
