June Goals

This June, I am revisiting last year's experiment with the 100 mile lifestyle. That's right, no more shopping for me, at least not conventional shopping. I'll be garage sale-ing, farmer's market-ing, and thrift store-ing. And this includes diapers--that's right folks, I'm making the leap to all cloth. Here are a few other ideas for saving cash and carbon...

Things I am going to do in June to save money:

  • Hang out a larger proportion of my laundry.
  • Get together with Mrs. March and work out a carpooling arrangement.
  • Take the bus to and from one activity every week.
  • Keep all electronics off and curtains shut tight during daylight hours.
  • Set the thermostat for a balmy 82 until an hour before my dh comes home.
  • Drive slower and cccooooaaassstttt.

Cool how that works, eh?
