I really enjoyed the process of challenging myself to make 12 Green changes this month, following through on the challenge, writing about it, and getting tips and feedback from all of you. In fact, I liked the process enough to want to give myself another challenge for February, and, while I reserve the right to change my mind(!), I think I'll try to go for a new challenge each month.
Every month's challenge won't be environmentally related, I don't think, but I'm on a bit of a roll with the Green changes, and I'd like to continue to push myself a bit more in this direction. So, February's challenge is to make 12 more Green changes. Same as in January, the changes need to be relatively easy and relatively inexpensive, although they naturally get a bit tougher once we venture further in.
I'm also going to give this challenge a name, as I found it cumbersome in January to keep saying "my challenge to make 12 Green changes this month." I've noticed lots of bloggers naming their challenges, and I even participated in one in January — WoYoPracMo (World Yoga Practice Month). So let's call January's challenge GreenMo (Green Month), and, in honor of Jack whose favorite word is "mo," February's challenge will be MoGreenMo (More Green Month).
Unlike when I made my GreenMo challenge to the Internets and beyond without mentioning it to Glen first, I did clear MoGreenMo with my honey before committing to it. Obviously when I make these types of changes, he ends up having to change, too. Big thanks to him for being such a good sport, and thanks to everyone who has given me suggestions and support over the past month. I'm looking forward to keeping it going.
What a fantastic idea, to do so many new "Green" changes! I'm actually kind of impressed that you were able to think of 12 (and now 24) to implement...that's pretty good!
And I have to say I like the name you gave it, too. :)
