I finally worked out on the Wii last night, so 1 down, 11 to go. I'm going to have to step up my efforts! At least I haven't missed any days of fruit since the first one.
As for the green goal, I'm running really low on moisturizing body wash. I looked up and found an easy recipe for it, but it involves buying clear, scent-free shampoo. This would still involve buying a new container each time, I think, unless I can find a bulk-size shampoo. Still thinking about what I should do.
We're also running low on dishwasher detergent, and we got a big box of washing soda (and already have a big box of borax) so we're prepared for that.
We refilled a bottle of veg. oil from a bulk container at our co-op, but unfortunately it was much more expensive than buying a new one at the supermarket, so we're not sure if we'll continue doing that.
We have refilled our dish soap from the bulk section, and we get honey, molasses and some other things in bulk as well, reusing our containers again and again.
I haven't done a ton of research into philanthropic opportunities, but a couple things have fallen into my lap. First, some people are still bringing eyeglasses, so I'll drop them off next time I go to the mall. And my company is having a food drive in March, so we're going to pick up one extra item each time we shop, and have a collection of stuff to donate.
The savings goal should be easily surpassed once we get AS's federal return.
The crafts goal is the only one I've completely neglected so far. But I think I will get to it before the month is over.
Progress on the goals
