1. Share a Meal With Someone Outside Your Comfort Zone - 25 Sep 2006

   I have a couple living next door who are both disabled. They are lovely peolpe and also demanding. We can’t always give our time to them but we will go to their parties which seem to happen quite frequently. I admit to not enjoying these times which require much effort on our part preparing and serving food and clearing up after but as part of living generously we have agreed to go and give a little.

2. Save Paper and Packaging: Dump Your Junk Mail - 25 Sep 2006

   After realising that if I had just read the whole blurb on the living generously page it gave me the details of how to do this, it was actually really easy. First I visited other unhelpful sites. I’m sure no one else will be that silly.

3. Stop Taking Plastic Bags From Shops - 25 Sep 2006

   This has been hard to achieve as I have such a bad memory I forget to take the bags. ANd if I remember to take the bags I forget to get them out of the boot, and if I remember both those things I get to the till and forget I have them in my handbag. I have partially solved this by keeping them permanently in the boot. At least then they make it part of the way.

4. Switch off and unplug appliances and chargers - 09 Oct 2006

   Have just read everyone’s efforts and struggles with this one and am going to endeavour to unplug more stuff. Trouble for us is all our plugs are behind large pieces of furniture so we have to buy adaptors with individual switches. Thanks for everyone’s comments, Very inspiring.

5. Give A Gift That Keeps On Giving - 11 Dec 2006

   Decided to do this this year and feel really good about it. Not sure how pthers will react but will soon find out as I bought all the just gits online and they will arrive within 4 days at our friends addresses. I was sick of spending hours buying gifts for people that have everything they need when there are so many people who do not even have the basics. People who I have asked have been generally positive and some have said buy one on their behalf too. I love to think of a family getting a goat or 40 chickens or a bicycle. Will continue to do this every year.
