RecycleBank is the premier rewards and loyalty program that motivates people to recycle and to engage in environmentally virtuous activities. The program has proven to more than double recycling rates in cities in 21 states across the country and the United Kingdom. Founded in 2004, RecycleBank’s mission is to get every house to recycle because everybody, everywhere can recycle and should be rewarded for doing so.
If your area is participating in the RecycleBank program, you can earn points towards more rewards by recycling. Check out more details here.
If your community is not current participating in the RecycleBank program, consider contacting your local municipality or refuge and/or recycling contractor to find out if they would be interested in participating. I plan to contact both the City we live in and the company that collects our refuge and recycling. Here is a link you can forward directly that will explain the program. Check it out here.

After a blogging break to celebrate Christmas . . . I am getting re-energized on many fronts. We enjoyed a playful day in the snow today and are looking forward to a relaxing week. I am working on goal setting for 2010 which is something that I have not done before. We will be setting goals at our house for our family, personal goals for myself and my husband. I've been thinking a lot about our lives as good stewards to the Earth and brainstorming ideas to further our journey. I received a gardening catelog today in the mail and it made me think it's not too early to start thinking about harvesting our own food in 2010.
This week I am hoping to:
Spend lots of time with my Teenie Weenie Greenies.
Menu Plan for the entire month of January based upon my current stockpile (freezer and pantry). I had been thinking about this because my freezer is incredibly full and we still have vegetables in their from our summer garden that need to be used. I will be joining Money Saving Mom and Life as Mom in their Eat from the Pantry Challenge.
Welcome to Saving Family Green!
I am a Mommy to 2 teenie weenie greenies and wife to a Treehugger. Over the years we have learned by trial and error what works for us in our quest to be green.
We hope we can inspire you to be a little more "Green"!
