Sustainable Saturday

SustainableSaturday.org is a was created as part of the earth friendly movement. Our idea is use as least power, eat sustainable food, and do anything that’s good for the earth at least 1 Day a week.  We’ll be sharing  ideas and experiences in this website to make it easier for all of us to change our habits and reach the 350 goal (What is 350? read more at www.350.org)

“Sustainable Saturday” challenge

At least 1 Day a week (Saturday) I will do the following:

• I will turn off all electronic entertainment (computer, TV, VCR, Game consoles, etc)
• I will use as little power as possible (to prepare meals, heat the house, lights etc)
• I will eat only organic meals
• I will eat NO meat
• I will eat at least 1 raw meal a day (healthy and saves power)
• Avoid using the car for transportation
• Will not go shopping to the mall to buy more junk

Here is what I will do instead:

• Walk to the library
• Walk to the farmers market or take public transport to the local organic farm
• Read a book
• Play boardgames with the family
• Eat a candle-light dinner
• Do some creative crafts from reusable junk (e.g. old newspapers, magazines, old t-shirts, cardboard boxes, etc)
• Do some organic gardening
• Go for a walk in the park or a hike
• You can help me update the list …
