This year is going to be so great! I have recommitted to living a completely vegan lifestyle and feel terrific! My daughter, who is ten, has become a vegetarian and has chosen to create a simple compost bin and study it as her science project for school. Because she takes her meals to school everyday (in reusable, eco-friendly containers) some of her friends are even beginning to ask her about what she eats and she is educating them about her vegetarian diet!
How great is that? Kids teaching kids!
My twins (I have four kids total), have started walking home from school with friends to save on the car trip. This is a big deal in our neighborhood as 90% of students are picked up by their parents even though 80% live within a mile of the school. Walking home was their idea and I think it's catching on as their group gets bigger every day! :)
