The Pact!

Ok, before we go much further I should explain a little more about our pact! This year we have decided as Mom's, Women, really as Humans that we have the ability to open our eyes as well as those around us the impact we make on this earth. So we have decided to take it upon ourselves to lessen that impact in a very basic way: by not buying anything new! This doesn't mean we won't buy anything this year, it just means we will buy used, buy consigned, we will ask friends and family if they have items we need that they are no longer using, anything we can due to create less waste and be able to have recycled o r reused something that otherwise would have become trash. Along with this we have chosen to not eat fast food, at least not as a regular meal option. Being mom's there are days when life gets away from you, but we don't need it and it creates a lot of waste. We aren't saying no to eating out, just not carry out, delivery, that sort of thing, if you are in a restaurant eating in is pretty similar to eating at home. There will be dishes, and such. An lastly we are choosing to be conscious in our decisions as to where we shop, try to support local businesses in any thing we do need to buy. Anyhow wish us luck and if you are able to in any small way, JOIN US! Every little bit helps!
