Greenish Challenge 1

Our goal: to walk to school every day, both ways, until the end of the year. I'll be making exceptions if the weather is so awful that Sam really can't go out in it, or if we have an appointment or something immediately before or after school. So far, we are doing decently with this one: in the past three weeks, I have driven the car to school once. We have walked in rain a few times and got caught in one surprise downpour (Sam stayed pretty dry). Since we have an involuntary carbon footprint reduction going on (one of our cars died dramatically a few weeks ago), this is a pretty practical thing for us to do, and the exercise is good for all of us. I have been putting Sam in the jogger and running right after I drop them off.
