Our 30 Shevat Challenge
The Hebrew month of Shevat is the perfect time to reconnect with nature, trees, gardening, and Israel. It's also the right time to revisit and evaluate ourselves as a family who is striving to be more "green." So, we are taking a 30 day challenge.
We will begin on Thursday, January 6th.
Here's our plan for the first few days:
1 Shevat - Create a tally chart to see just how many plastic bags we use in one week.
2 Shevat- Talk about the devestating fires in Israel. Collect our pre-Shabbat tzedakah from our family for this cause. http://jnf.org/
3 Shevat- Eat under a tree and read Curious George Plants A Tree and begin the book Going Green by David and Patricia Armentrout
4 Shevat-Find 25 household items that do not get much attention and put the 3R's to use- Recycle, Reduce, and Reuse!
We would love to hear your ideas too! We want to have 30 meaningful days. Please share your ideas in the comments section. Thanks!
