About a month ago we signed up to A Year Of Living Generously, an online community that is now nearing 500 households working together to look after this planet.
The project started in September 2004, when 100 people tried to start living more generously. The actions taken included switching off the tap while brushing your teeth, switching to an ethical bank or trying to shop locally. At the end of the year, all 100 people wanted to continue living generously, and the project was extended to 300 households.
It didn’t take long to recruit the additional members, and there was a long waiting list, so A Year Of Living Generously decided to open the online project up to anyone and see what happened.
We signed up at this point and are enjoying receiving emails every week or so suggesting a new action for us to consider. This week’s action was composting, something that we are already doing, so I could tick that off as done and look forward to the next challenge.
