I happened upon this site www.1smallchangeblog.blogspot.com a few days after I posted my Earth Year Resolutions. This was a challenge for people to take from January 2010 to Earth Day - April 2010. People liked it so much they have decided to continue for the entire year. I like it!! I am going with the Baby Step Attitude. Things I hope I can accomplish with my present lifestyle, but are not my normal habits. This group is asking us to make One Small Change each month. Most who have blogged about their Small Change for that month have continued to keep that One Small Change Change in their everyday life. A good thing, for sure!
For the month of May, my One Small Change, will be not to use disposable goods while I am at work. Plastic spoons, knives, forks, coffee stirrers, coffee cups, paper plates, etc., will all be NO-NO's.
This pledge is addition to my Earth Year Resolutions.
Once again, the whole idea of making my pledge public will hopefully keep me accountable to my pledge. So, once again, when you see me, don't be shy! Ask me how I am doing!!!
Have to go now to get my "Work Place Mess Kit" in order.

I gave up styrofoam cups 30 years ago. Everywhere I go, I try to bring my own coffee mug.
At the time, the president of my company argued with the premise, saying the styrofoam cup was one of man's greatest inventions. Yes, it keeps hot things hot and cold things cold, but why do you need to throw it away?
I have been thinking about my own at work utensiles too. Great idea and good luck.
This is such a great idea!! Hopefully you will be a great influence on your co workers and they will follow your efforts! I am so glad that you are continuing on with One Small Change! I have a new blog post up about the future of the project and ways you can help if you are up for it!
