30-day giving challenge - lifestyle greening tips

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. ~Galations 6:9

Recently, I had a friend issue a challenge – participate in a 30-day giving event. For it is through the act of giving that we gain an ability to see beyond ourselves.

In response, I decided to give both personal and eco-professional tips. As I compiled my list of ‘giving’ green life-style tips and strategies, it reminded me of personal eco-commitments. Hopefully, you will find this list useful; and as always, you are welcome to post tips/strategies that work-well for you.
