Change The World Wednesday

Last week's challenge was one of my favorites ... it dealt with food ... meatless meals, to be precise. And, as usual, our Honor Society met the challenge. I hope you'll visit some of these sites because there are some fabulous recipes listed ... recipes that, I'm sure, could make the most devout carnivore turn vegetarian. And ... one of our members wrote a hilariously funny post ... looking at meatless meals from a completely different point of view. Thanks to everyone who participated:

Impressive group, don't you think? :)

Okay ... ready for a new challenge? Here you go:

Most commercial cleaners, commonly available in stores today, contain harsh chemicals ... many, of which, harm the environment. So this week, try an Eco-friendly cleaner ... something that doesn't hurt the environment or us. For some suggestions, check here:

OR,

If you only use Eco-friendly cleaners, share your favorite cleaner/recipe with us and talk about why it's your favorite.

What do you think? Is it something you're willing to try?

This week our friend Thomas, at Renewables At Home, is busy organizing a music festival so ... no motivational post from him. But, his girlfriend, Ellen, jumped in and offers this fantastic household tip: Remove Rust With Onions

If you're new to our challenges, please click HERE to read all about it and get the "rules". And remember, anyone who accepts the challenge gets a place in our highly touted "Honor Society" (just leave a comment ... it's as simple as that). Anyone who writes a post about it, gets that post "Stumbled" (just be sure to let me know about it, okay). If you're on Twitter, join us in tweeting about it (my ID = Smallftprints). Include the tag #changetheworldwed ... maybe we can start a trend.

Thanks, everyone!

We're changing the world ... one challenge at a time!
